UPDATE Thursday, May 7 (3:31 p.m. ET): A California judge has ruled that Lindsay Lohan still hasn’t completed the court-ordered community services stemming from her 2012 car accident, and has given her a deadline in which to complete the necessary hours to fulfill her sentence.
In fact, the judge reviewing LiLo’s progress found that she has only completed nine of the 125 community service hours that allowed her to avoid jail time as part of her probation.
Because the starlet is currently living in London, the judge is allowing her until May 28 to complete her sentence, and granted her permission to complete the work at a children’s service centre in Brooklyn, New York.
However, the judge warned her attorney that if the entirely of the community service isn’t competed by the May 28 deadline, “there will be consequences.”;
Linds could face up to a year and a half in the slammer if she fails to complete the community service hours by the deadline.

A few weeks back, Lindsay Lohan’s lawyer tried to convince a judge that meeting fans and signing autographs constituted court-ordered community service to fulfill her sentence stemming from her 2012 car accident.
And now the judge has rendered a decision: it does not.
When the community service info was presented by Lindsay’s lawyer, Santa Monica Chief Deputy Attorney Terry White was dubious that Lohan managed to complete 80 hours of community service in just nine days. “She got to shake hands with people, and that’s community service?”; said White.
White also complained that she was attempting to receive credit for hours in which young fans were “job-shadowing”; her while she prepared for her role in Speed the Plow in London. “I’d love to hang out with a celebrity all day and see their life,”; griped White, “but that’s not community service.”;
The judge agreed, and has ordered LiLo to serve 125 more hours of community service in order to fulfill her sentence.
