LOS ANGELES: A prosecutor on Wednesday raised doubts that Lindsay Lohan had completed the terms of her community service sentence in a reckless driving case that is the final criminal case the actress faces for years of bad behaviour.

The complaints from Santa Monica Chief Deputy City Attorney Terry White prompted Superior Court Judge Richard Stone to set another court hearing so that the prosecutor could investigate whether Lohan completed her community service at a London volunteer organisation as stated in court documents.

White said he doubted Lohan completed 80 hours of community service in nine days as documentation presented by Lohan’s attorney on Wednesday claims.

He said if he is able to show that Lohan didn’t complete the hours as stated in court filings, he would seek jail time for the star. The prosecutor noted that Lohan was receiving treatment for an illness at the time, but the actress’ attorney Shawn Holley said it was outpatient treatment and “she powered through it”. Stone spent several minutes silently reviewing the documents, but made no comments on whether he felt the 28-year-old Lohan had completed her community service sentence.

Another judge approved Lohan doing the hours in London. “If this was Lindsey Smith, nobody would allow this,” White said.
