Lohan arrest warrant is quashed

A judge has quashed an arrest warrant for Mean Girls actress Lindsay Lohan.

The warrant was issued last week over claims she violated the terms of her parole for drink driving and drug offences in 2007.

On Monday, a lawyer for the 22-year-old presented evidence to show that she had kept to her rehabilitation programme.

Shawn Chapman Holley told the court that confusion had stemmed from the actress switching treatment programs, saying it was "much ado about nothing"

Driving arrests

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha N Revel told Holley that Lohan needed to provide better documentation to avoid future court problems.

The judge also noted that Lohan had not failed any drug or alcohol tests.

Lohan pleaded guilty in August 2007 to two counts of being under the influence of cocaine and no contest to drink driving and a charge of reckless driving.

She spent 84 minutes in jail and had to perform community service as well as the rehabilitation treatment.

The actress did not make an appearance in court on Monday, to the disappointment of dozens of photographers.
