Lindsay Lohan has had her probation for a 2007 arrest extended by a year to allow the actress more time to complete an alcohol education program.
The Mean Girls star landed herself in trouble after failing to complete the course, which she was ordered to undertake as part of her sentence for driving under the influence (DUI) and drug possession in August 2007.
She was placed on three years' probation as part of her sentence, but was accused of violating the terms of the agreement by only attending 15 of the 26 alcohol education classes and 13 of the 28 self-help sessions she needed to complete.
Lohan was summoned to appear before Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel on Friday, where her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley requested her probation be extended, reports TMZ.com.
The judge granted the court motion, although prosecutors warned Lohan she would be thrown behind bars if she did not stick to the terms of her extended probation.
Revel also had some words of encouragement for the actress, saying she was "rooting for (Lohan) to successfully complete her terms of probation."
