Lohan mother sentenced for drink-driving

Lindsay Lohan's mother has been ordered to perform 100 hours of community service.

Dina Lohan pled guilty in court in Long Island, New York this morning to Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) and speeding last September.

Along with her community service, Dina must attend a mandatory drinking and driving program, a victim impact panel, and pay the necessary fines and fees.

The 51-year-old is also expected to have her licence revoked and an interlock device will be installed in her car, according to gossip website TMZ.com.

She was initially arrested for driving at "a speed of 77 mph in a 55mph zone" and police then discovered her blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit.

Shortly afterwards, her lawyer Mark Heller attempted to blame the paparazzi for the incident.

He said: "It is the professional opinion, as stated here by the evaluator, that the circumstances leading to Dina's arrest were largely impacted by ongoing daily stresses caused by you folks, the paparazzi, media attention and distorted tabloid character profiles."

It was previously reported that Lindsay, 27, predicted her mother would be arrested for DWI.

A source said at the time of her mother's arrest: "Lindsay wasn't surprised that her mom got popped for a DUI (Driving Under the Influence). It was only a matter of time, according to Lindsay."
