"US actress Lindsay Lohan has been taken into custody in Los Angeles to serve a jail sentence for probation violation.Her probation was imposed in 2007 in relation to drunk driving and drug possession charges.
She is expected to serve less than the 90-day sentence imposed earlier this month because of jail overcrowding, and is likely to spend it in isolation.
Lohan, who was jailed after failing to attend alcohol education classes, will enter rehabilitation after her release." BBC report
