\"Lindsay Lindsay Lohan is unlikely to face jail time because of prison overcrowding<\/span> <\/p>\n

Lindsay Lohan has been sentenced to four months in jail over the theft of a gold necklace from a shop in Los Angeles last year.<\/p>\n

The actress changed her plea to no contest, which under California law effectively means she admitted taking the jewellery worth $2,500 (\u00a31,529).<\/p>\n

Officials say the actress is likely to serve 17 days of the sentence and that will probably be under house arrest.<\/p>\n

Lindsay Lohan has until 17 June to report to jail.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old released a statement saying she had already started 300 hours of community work at a women’s shelter.<\/p>\n

Lohan said: “I hope to be able to fulfil my obligation without any press attention. I think the media spotlight should be on issues such as homelessness and domestic violence instead of on me.”<\/p>\n

Along with working at the women’s shelter, she will do 120 hours of community service at the coroner’s office in Los Angeles, have to complete an anti-shoplifting class and will remain on probation for the next three years.<\/p>\n

The star was on probation for a 2007 drink-drive case last January when a jewellery store in the Venice area of Los Angeles told police that she’d taken a necklace without permission.<\/p>\n

The theft happened three weeks after Lohan was released from rehab.<\/p>\n

She had been sent there for three months of treatment after failing a separate drug screening for cocaine and amphetamines.<\/p>\n

Lohan also tested positive for alcohol shortly after the theft was reported.<\/p>\n

Officials at the pre-trial hearing say the actress, best known for roles in Mean Girls and Ugly Betty, is unlikely to face jail time because of prison overcrowding.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
