Lindsay Lohan'sprobation was revoked on Wednesday (October 19th) after the judge determined that she had no excuse for repeatedly blowing off her community service obligations. Lindsay was handcuffed and briefly held in custody until she paid $100,000 bail.

Judge Stephanie Sautner dismissed Lindsay's argument that work commitments were to blame for her absences. The judge also expressed her displeasure at Lindsay having been reassigned to do community service at the Red Cross without her permission.

Sautner said of the situation, ["Probation, as you know, and as the prosecutor knows and has always been view, is a gift. And there's something called looking a gift horse in the mouth. And when I see that she has by her own conduct and against my orders to do four-hour increments, blown them off nine times so that they had no alternative but to cancel. And then she trots herself over the Red Cross with the blessing of the volunteer center? That is not my sentence."] (:28 OC: . . . not my sentence)

Although Lindsay received a "glowing" recommendation from her psychiatrist, Sautner disputed the shrink's claim that Lohan was present for in-person sessions every week.

• Sautner finally laid down the law: ["The court is revoking probation. I am setting a probation violation hearing for November 2nd at 10 am in this court. I am also setting bail at $100,000. And if Ms. Lohan bails out, she is to immediately, before the next hearing, if she wants to mitigate any potential sentence if she's found in violation, do a minimum of 16 hours at the morgue."] SOUNDCUE (:26 OC: . . . at the morgue)
