On Wednesday, the actress was escorted from a hearing in handcuffs after Superior Court judge, Stephanie Sautner, revoked Lohan’s probation because she was ousted from a community service assignment at a women’s shelter. Now, her bail has been set at $100,000. “There has been violation after violation,” Sautner said.

A city prosecutor argued that the actress should be jailed, but Sautner said Lohan was entitled to a probation violation hearing. The recommendation is the latest legal problem for the 25-year-old actor, who was given probation for a 2007 drunken driving case and a misdemeanor theft case this year.

Lohan’s spokesman Steve Honig said Lohan immediately posted bail but declined comment on her court appearance. It was unclear if she had been released. Sautner has set a November 2 hearing, to decide whether Lohan will return to jail, where she has been sent four previous times, only to be released early due to jail overcrowding. “If jail meant something in the state of California now, maybe I’d put her in jail,” Sautner said.

Lohan had been ordered in April to serve 360 hours at the Downtown Women’s Center, an agency that helps homeless women. Sautner said nine of Lohan’s appointments at the center were “just blown off” and she “showed up once and left after an hour.” Lohan has since started serving hours with the American Red Cross, but Sautner said that would not count because it was not part of her sentence. “We’re dealing with someone on probation,” said Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Holley. “Most people on probation don’t always do things perfectly.” Lohan, aside from a role in last year’s film Machete, has seen her acting career evaporate in recent years. She has been in perpetual trouble since May 2010.
