LYNWOOD -- After about 13 days behind bars, actress Lindsay Lohan was released from jail Monday under cover of darkness, avoiding the waiting cameras of photographers hoping to capture her exit from the Century Regional Detention Facility.
The 24-year-old actress was released at 1:35 a.m., according to county Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore.
Lohan was jailed July 20 for violating her probation on a pair of DUI cases. Beverly Hills Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel sentenced the actress to 90 days in jail, but Lohan served about 13 days.
Whitmore said earlier that non-violent female offenders generally serve 25 percent of their sentences, but Lohan was also expected to get good-behavior credit and have more time shaved from her sentence due to the department's early release program to reduce jail overcrowding.
Revel ordered Lohan to report to a 90-day inpatient alcohol- rehabilitation program within 24 hours of her release from jail.
The website RadarOnline reported that Lohan went immediately into rehab at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center. Earlier reports had indicated that Lohan would be doing her rehab stint at Morningside Recovery in Newport Beach.
A witness at the Lynwood jail said a black Escalade pulled up to the facility about 12:30 a.m. with a driver in a suit and security. The car headed to the back area of the jail, the witness said.
On May 26, 2007, Lohan was in a Mercedes-Benz that crashed into a hedge along Sunset Boulevard near the Beverly Hills Hotel, and two months later she was arrested in Santa Monica on suspicion of driving under the influence.
That August, Lohan pleaded no contest to two counts each of drunken driving and being under the influence of cocaine, and one count of reckless driving. She was sentenced to one day in jail -- but spent a total of 84 minutes at the Century Regional Detention Facility -- and was placed on three years probation.
Lohan's probation was later extended for a year after she missed some alcohol-education classes while making a movie in Texas.
Lohan ran afoul of the judge again when she missed a scheduled court hearing in May because she was at the Cannes Film Festival in France. She said her passport had been stolen.
