Lohan is currently attending the 'Right On' program that conducts state licensed education classes for those convicted of driving under the influence in California.

Lindsay Lohan Facing Warrant for Her Arrest
Warrant stems from 2007 California DUI case.
The Beverly Hills Police Department has issued a warrant for Lindsey Lohan’s arrest. The cause for the issuance has not been revealed though it is believed to be in response to a violation of the terms of her probation from a 2007 DUI in Los Angeles. In that incident, Lohan lost control of her Mercedes SL65 and crashed into some shrubs, following a night of partying. Cocaine was also found in the vehicle.
Following the California drunk driving episode in 2007, the starlet was sentenced to three years probation and spent 24 hours in jail. She had also been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
While they admit that they are not actively looking for the 22-year Lohan, police hope to resolve the issue in the coming week, possibly negotiating a voluntary surrender.
A hearing has been scheduled for today at the Beverly Hills Superior Court, though the actress is not expected to appear. Lohan’s CA DUI defense lawyer insists that she has been in compliance with the terms of her probation and calls the warrant the result of a misunderstanding.
