Lindsay Lohan Fails Community Service AGAIN … Jail on the Table

EXCLUSIVE

Lindsay Lohan will use a mosquito defense when her lawyer goes to court next week to announce her client has failed A SECOND TIME to perfect her community service … and this could land her in jail … TMZ has learned.

Lindsay is due in court Wednesday to prove she completed her community service in connection with her 2012 reckless driving case … where she slammed into an 18-wheeler on PCH.

She was required to perform 240 hours of community service, but on November 6, 2014 — when she was required to show proof of completion — her lawyer, Shawn Holley, told hizzoner LiLo had completed nearly HALF the hours. 

So the judge set a second date for Lindsay to show proof of completion — next Wednesday. But TMZ has learned Lindsay isn’t even accurate to finishing.

Her defense … the community service focal point in London was closed for 2 weeks during the holidays and she finished up in the hospital with a mosquito virus. Here’s the problem … she got the virus while vacationing in Bora Bora, instead of putting in her time.

And there’s a larger problem. She screws up a lot and has lots of excuses. Here’s a partial list:

– 2009 … Lindsay failed to perfect her alcohol ed program
– 2010 … Bench warrant issued after Lindsay was a no show, claiming she was in Cannes and her passport was stolen
– 2010 … Bench warrant issued after her SCRAM bracelet went off at the MTV Composition Awards after have fun
– 2010 … Lindsay failed to perfect her alcohol ed program
– 2010 … Lindsay allegedly beats up a woman at Betty Ford
– 2010 … Test revoked after cocaine found in her system
