Lindsay Lohan Begins House Arrest: Ankle Bracelet Monitoring

Lindsay Lohan just caught a huge break. The 24-year-old actress surrendered to Los Angeles police at the Lynwood Jail this morning, only to be released shortly thereafter and placed on house arrest.

According to L.A. Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore: “She is now confined to the interior premises of her home at all times.”

Lilo checked in for booking at 5:02 a.m. Thursday, where it was determined that she would be placed on home confinement. She was fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet and released within the hour.

Lindsay was originally sentenced to four months in jail but due to overcrowding, budgeting issues, and her status as a nonviolent offender, she was eligible for house arrest.
