A prosecutor said Wednesday that it appears Lindsay Lohan has completed more than 100 hours of community service, the final term of her sentence in a 2012 reckless-driving case. Santa Monica, Calif., Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White said he does not have any concerns about Lohan’s work in recent weeks with groups in New York. “It looks like she’s completed her hours,” White said. His comments came one day before Lohan’s lawyer is scheduled to update a judge on the actress’s progress. The Mean Girls star is under a deadline to complete more than 100 hours of community service by today’s court hearing. A judge could end her probation in the case, filed after Lohan crashed on the Pacific Coast Highway while on the way to a film shoot in 2012. At a May 7 court hearing, Lohan still had 115 hours of work left to finish. That prompted Superior Court Judge Mark Young to warn that there would be consequences if the actress missed another deadline. Lohan, 28, was ordered to redo 125 hours of service after White objected to her work in London, citing credit she received for meeting with fans of a stage production of Speed-the-Plow. Lohan received credit for some of her work on the show, despite being assigned to a charity for underprivileged children and disabled adults. Lohan was first placed on probation in August 2007 after she was charged with driving under the influence and drug charges after two arrests earlier that year. She failed to complete the terms of that case, prompting judges to sentence her to rehabilitation, jail and morgue duty. In early 2011, Lohan’s probation was extended after she was sentenced in a necklace-theft case. Both the DUI and theft cases have been dismissed.
A judge stopped short of ordering Marion “Suge” Knight forcibly removed from his jail cell Wednesday after the rap music mogul said he was sick and refused to go to court for a hearing in his robbery case. Los Angeles Superior Court Ronald Coen said Knight, 50, told deputies he was too ill to leave his downtown Los Angeles jail cell. Coen said he did not order deputies to forcibly remove Knight because the Death Row Records co-founder has a hearing in his murder case Friday. Instead, the judge delayed Wednesday’s proceedings to coincide with that hearing. But Coen said he would take a harder line with Knight, who is charged along with comedian Katt Williams with stealing a celebrity photographer’s camera. In the separate case, Knight is accused of running over two men with his pickup, killing one and seriously injuring the other. Knight and Williams have pleaded innocent to taking the photographer’s camera in Beverly Hills in September, just days after Knight was wounded in a nightclub shooting. Knight also has pleaded innocent in the murder case, which was filed after he ran over the two men outside a Compton burger stand in January.
