Judge to Lohan: Go Directly (Back) to Jail

(Sept. 24) -- This morning, a Los Angeles judge ordered actress Lindsay Lohan to return to jail over a failed drug test that put her in violation of the terms of her probation.

Judge Elden Fox denied Lohan bail and has ordered her to jail pending an Oct. 22 hearing.

The latest turn in Lohan's legal saga came when the troubled starlet returned to court after testing positive last week for cocaine and illegal Adderall use.

Though the terms of Lohan's probation stipulated that a failed drug test would result in a 30-day jail term, Fox could have instead advised more time in a drug treatment program, the Los Angeles Times reported.

But at today's hearing, Fox did not allow any lawyers to testify before ordering Lohan placed in handcuffs and taken into custody, TMZ reported.

Lohan served just 13 days of a 90-day jail sentence and was also released early from a court-ordered UCLA drug treatment program. It remains to be seen whether the actress will remain in jail until Oct. 22.
