Troubled US starlet Lindsay Lohan was banned Thursday from partying while under home detention, but escaped jail after reportedly testing positive for alcohol.
A judge said Lohan, who is in home custody as part of a plea deal following an alleged jewellery theft, had not violated the terms of her probation but should have known better than to hold a rooftop barbecue.
“You are not guilty of probation violation. You are guilty of extreme poor judgment,” said judge Stephanie Sautner, adding: “House arrest should be akin to jail.
“I am ordering you not to have parties. You may have one friend over at a time and a family member if you want... Don’t have barbecues on your roof so... All your neighbours write into the board of supervisors,” she added. —AFP
