Lohan is handcuffed after probation revoked

Lindsay Lohan has been taken away in handcuffs after a judge found her in violation of her probation.

Judge Stephanie Sautner revoked Lohan's probation Wednesday after the actress encountered problems during her community service assignment at a women's shelter. Bail has been set at $100,000.

Sautner said Lohan would be entitled to a Nov. 2 hearing before being sentenced to jail over the violation.

Lohan has started serving hours with the American Red Cross, but Sautner said that would not count toward her probation because it was not part of her sentence.

Once bail is paid, the actress will be released. She will then be required to perform 16 hours of community service at the Los Angeles County Morgue before her court date.

"Probation is a gift," Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner told Lohan and her attorney, Shawn Holley. "It's a gift! It's not a right."

"If jail meant something in the state of California now, maybe I'd put her in jail," Sautner said, referring to jail overcrowding in the state. She went on to say "I don't know what's going to happen to misdemeanors in the state of California now."

The move is based on the actress' most recent probation report that states she was terminated from the women's shelter where a judge wanted her to serve most of her community service.

Lohan was serving probation for a 2007 drunken driving case and a misdemeanor theft case earlier this year.

The judge in April sentenced her to serve 480 hours of community service, most of which she said should be served at the Downtown Women's Center.

Mateljan said he had not personally reviewed the probation report and did not know why Lohan was booted from serving at the center.

"We feel that her being terminated from it is a violation," Mateljan said.

Lohan's spokesman Steve Honig said Lohan has been doing community service daily at the American Red Cross for several days, and that she has also been working to complete two other aspects of her probation ? completing a Shoplifters Anonymous course and undergoing psychological counseling.

Sautner ordered Lohan to complete 360 hours of her service at the Downtown Women's Center, a shelter and advocacy group for homeless women. The judge praised the center's mission and said during one hearing that she thought being at the facility would do Lohan good.

The judge warned Lohan at her previous court appearance that she needed to speed up the pace of her community service, and told the actress she wouldn't listen to excuses or grant any extensions.

Since May 2010, the "Mean Girls" star has lived with the constant threat of jail. Her actual time behind bars has been cut short because her convictions are for misdemeanors and because of jail overcrowding.

She served 35 days of house arrest earlier after entering a no contest plea in May to taking a $2,500 necklace without permission.
