Lindsay Lohan's arrest warrant has been dismissed by a California judge after she was determined to be in full compliance with the terms of her probation for driving under the influence.
Los Angeles cops issued a $50,000 warrant for the actress’ arrest on Friday in relation to her 2007 DUI conviction, which saw her sentenced to 24 hours in jail. Lohan was also ordered to perform 10 days of community service and enter an 18-month alcohol education program.
Her latest legal woe was sparked after a director of her alcohol education class told the court the actress had missed three sessions in a 21-day period, violating the terms of her three-year probation.
The 22-year-old's lawyer Shawn Chapman blamed the warrant on a "miscommunication," and at a brief hearing in Beverly Hills on Monday, Chapman explained Lohan "had been in one program but left that program" for another due to a "personality conflict."
The actress, who was arrested twice in 2007 on DUI charges, did not appear in court.
The judge ordered Lohan to show new proof of enrollment in a program by April 3.
