Lindsay Lohan has been fitted with an ankle monitor and will serve her sentence on house arrest rather than going to jail.
An official says the 24-year-old starlet started serving her term recently after turning herself in at a jail facility just after 5am. Lohan was sentenced in April to 120 days in jail for violating her probation in a 2007 drunken driving case by taking a necklace from a Venice jewellery store without permission. Lohan applied to serve house arrest but the accommodation hadn't been finalised when she appeared in court and pleaded no contest to misdemeanour grand theft.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department official Steve Whitmore says Lohan is expected to serve about 35 days of her sentence.
Whitmore says Lohan was cooperative.
