Bench Warrant Issued, Withdrawn For Lindsay Lohan

A Los Angeles judge issued a bench warrant for Lindsay Lohan yesterday after the actress failed to attend a mandatory court hearing. Lohan’s lawyer said Wednesday the actress would be unable to make the court date because she had lost her U.S. passport while attending France’s Cannes Film Festival. The hearing was set up to see if Lohan has been complying with the terms of her probation for a 2007 drunken driving conviction. The judge said she believed Lohan’s excuse was part of her substance-abuse problem, adding it was no justification for missing court. According to TMZ, Lohan won’t be arrested when she returns to the U.S. because she has already posted bail, which was set at $100,000, and the arrest warrant was recalled. Lohan will reportedly be back in court on Monday.
