LINDSAY Lohan's alcohol-monitoring bracelet got her in trouble on Tuesday with a judge who doubled the actress' bail to US$200,000.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel determined Lohan violated the terms of her release after a closed-door meeting with the actress' attorney and a prosecutor. Revel did not detail the violation, but said her decision was made after receiving "results" issued by a court-ordered alcohol monitor.
District Attorney spokeswoman Shiara Davila-Morales said it was an "alcohol-related violation," but did not have further details.
A source familiar with Lohan's case said the violation was reported after she appeared at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday night.
Lohan was not present in court on Tuesday, but several denials of wrongdoing were posted on the actress' Twitter account shortly before and after the hastily called hearing.
Lohan's US$200,000 bail was posted less than two hours after the hearing, a move that quashed a bench warrant issued for the actress' arrest by the judge.
Lohan's attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, issued a statement on Tuesday, saying the device indicated the "presence of a small amount of alcohol" on Sunday night.
"Having just received the report, I am not in a position to speak to its accuracy or validity, however Ms Lohan maintains that she has been in complete compliance with all of the terms of her probation and her bail," Chapman Holley said in a statement.
Lohan has been required to wear the device since May, when she missed a court hearing. Lohan is due back in court on July 6, when Revel will decide whether Lohan has violated her probation.
Lohan, 23, is facing jail time if the judge determines she has failed to comply with the terms of her probation.
The actress has received multiple chances and admonishments from the court, which extended her probation in October by a year after Lohan struggled to complete the terms in time.
At the May hearing, Revel set Lohan's bail at US$100,000, which she revoked on Tuesday.
Authorities said they did not have additional details on what Lohan's alcohol-monitor registered in order to be found in violation.
The bracelet is designed to test the skin for alcohol every half hour by sampling a person's perspiration.
Lohan appeared at the MTV awards show on Sunday. She also attended at least one of the show's after-parties.
The actress has been on probation since August 2007 after pleading guilty to misdemeanor drug charges and no contest to three driving charges.
