Lindsay Lohan Arrives in Court, Avoids Jail Time

Lindsay Lohan avoids jail time by arriving for her scheduled court hearing on Wednesday (January 30) in Los Angeles.

The 26-year-old actress, who was accompanied by her lawyer Mark Heller and her mother Dina, was given several new court dates by Judge Stephanie Sautner, the next one being March 1.

Lindsay is not required to show up on March 1, but is required on March 18.

Initially, Lindsay was ill and said she could not make the court day today, but showed up out of “respect for the court,” according to her lawyer. When questioned by the judge what kind of illness Lindsay had, Mark explained it was a flu-like sickness.

“No it’s not,” the judge said, according to Fox News. “The flu is the flu.”
