Lindsay Lohan Is 'Angry' About Jail Sentence

http://cdn02.cdn.socialitelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/lindsay-lohan-court-02232011-02-430x633.jpgIt's been a rough couple of days for Lindsay Lohan.

The actress returned to Lynwood Jail on Friday after a topsy-turvy day in court, and she is frustrated with the status of her jewelry theft case.

"She is fine," says producer Nathan Folks, who is a close friend of Lohan, 24. "Obviously, she is upset about [being sentenced to four months in jail]."

On Friday, a judge found Lohan, who is accused of stealing a $2,500 necklace, in violation of probation and sentenced her to the jail time and a hefty 480 hours of community service, which Folks admits was a "setback."

But she was allowed to post bail and released within hours of getting booked. Lohan remains free pending an appeal of the sentence, which legal experts say she has slim chance of winning.

"She is angry because she has been working so hard on turning her life around," says Folks, who insists Lohan is clean and sober. "She didn't do what they said she did. She didn't steal that necklace."

Still, Lohan is resigned to accept whatever decision comes down from the court when her trial begins June 3.

"She is ready to do her time. She wants to go to A.A. and N.A. and to serve her [more than] 400 hours [of community service]," Folks says. "She has already been doing lots of charity work."

It turned out not to be a Good Friday for Lindsay Lohan!

Judge Stephanie Sautner ruled that the actress was in violation of her probation and would receive 120 days in jail, Us Weekly confirmed.

Lohan, 24, was was only charged with a misdemeanor for her alleged necklace theft in January; she turned down previous plea deal bargain offers prior to Friday's trial and faced the possibility of felony charges. She will be tried in 45 days.

However, Judge Sautner ruled the incident was a violation of the probation terms set forth after Lohan's 2007 DUI arrest. In addition to her 120 day jail sentence, she will be required to perform 360 hours of community service.

Lohan's lawyer, Shawn Holley, immediately filed a notice of appeal. The actress' bail is set at $75,000.
