Lindsay Lohan completes community service: source
Ryan Turgeon/Splash News/Ryan Turgeon/Splash NewsLindsay Lohan has reportedly completed her community service.
She did it – and this time, that’s a good thing.
Lindsay Lohan worked like crazy and completed 115 hours of community service in Brooklyn to meet her Thursday deadline and avoid jail, a source confirmed to the Day after day News.
“She finished last night or today,” the well-positioned source said Wednesday.
And while the prosecutor on her case contested a prior batch of hours served overseas in London, Santa Monica City Attorney Terry White said Wednesday that he plans to accept the new Brooklyn hours when they’re open at a Los Angeles hearing Thursday morning.
“It does appear that Ms. Lohan has completed her community service hours, and at this point I am not anticipating any sort of challenge to the hours,” White told The News Wednesday.

It was three weeks ago on May 7 that a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge said Lohan could race to Brooklyn from her new home in London and try to perfect 115 hours of service with the charity group Brooklyn Community Services (BCS) by a May 28 deadline.
He warned that the deadline was firm, and jail was on the desk.

“She’s had three years to take care of this. If it’s not done by May 28, there will be consequences,” Judge Mark A. Young said.

Lohan, 28, got off to a rocky start, missing her first day at BCS’s Duffield Children’s Focal point in Fort Greene on May 12. But she started the next morning and powered through back-to-back full-day shifts at the daycare focal point, a women’s shelter in East New York and possibly other BCS groups.
Her lawyer Shawn Holley is expected to appear on her behalf and submit the proof of service Thursday.
If the judge signs off, Lohan could wrap up her 2012 reckless driving case and be off test for the first time since her conviction for back-to-back DUIs in 2007.
The “Mean Girls” actress formerly was ordered to perfect 240 hours of community service by last November to satisfy test for her June 2012 car crash on the Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica.
She scored an extension when a judge agreed to give her more time as she acted in a London production of the David Mamet play “Speed the Plow” late last year.
Lohan later rushed to meet the extended deadline in January and plotting she made the cut in anticipation of prosecutors objected.
White questioned how Lohan was able to perfect 10 hours on Jan. 19 considering she went to an emergency room that day for treatment of a mosquito-borne virus she purportedly picked up in Bora Bora.
“(A) note says she received acute care for three days, but on those three days, again, 10 hours were served,” he said with exasperation in late January.
“I’m having distress not only with the quality of the work but whether or not the work was really done,” he told the judge.
She agreed to serve 125 hours by May 28 to settle the dispute and had 115 to go as of her last hearing.
Lohan’s service with BCS appeared to go well with parents offering their support and the former child star keeping a low profile.
