Lindsay Lohan has been jailed for 30 days today after Judge Elden Fox remanded her in custody pending her formal probation hearing on October 22.
The actress was handcuffed and taken away and will be behind bars for the next month.
She'll serve her time in Lynwood Correctional Facility which is where she served 13 days earlier this summer.
The actress was brought before the judge after failing two drug tests earlier this month. One was for cocaine and the other was for Adderall - a drug taken for ADHD.
Lindsay's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holly asked the judge if he would consider bail to which he replied 'no'.
Holly then asked if the formal probation hearing could be pushed back to October 29. The judge told her that he didn't think she'd want the hearing on October 22. A later date would mean Lindsay would have to spend longer in jail.
Judge Fox did not hear any arguments from the lawyers before making his ruling. His decision stunned Lindsay's team because the underlying offence is a misdemeanor and some experts were reporting that the judge would have to offer Lindsay bail.
Lindsay's reaction was apparently that of shock when she was remanded in custody. She is said to have looked at her lawyer before being taken out of the courtroom. (Wearing FU nailpolish to court can come back to bite one one in the ass...)
Judge Fox scheduled a formal probation hearing for 30 days from now when Lindsay will have to answer to her failed drug tests.
He had previously warned Lohan he would put her back behind bars if she tested positive or skipped one of her twice-weekly tests.
This is Lindsay's 4th bench warrant stemming from her DUI case in December 2007.
Yesterday Lindsay had been out shopping at The Grove in Los Angeles - seemingly not worried about her fate.
