LOS ANGELES (AP) Lindsay Lohan has one less legal worry after prosecutors announced Tuesday that they would not pursue any charges against her over a December scuffle with a rehab worker.
District Attorney's spokesman John Hall said prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence to pursue a misdemeanor battery case against the actress.
Police were called to a Betty Ford Center facility in Palm Desert around 1 a.m. local time on Dec. 12 after a worker accused Lohan of hurting her during an altercation. The worker, Dawn Holland, later spoke about the incident on camera with TMZ and was fired by Betty Ford for violating patient confidentiality rules.
Lohan was nearing the end of her three-month court-ordered treatment at the center after violating her probation on a 2007 drunken driving case.
Prosecutors had sought further investigation from police agencies that responded to the call, but ultimately found there was not enough evidence to file charges.
The "Mean Girls" star faces a far more serious case in Los Angeles, where she is accused of felony grand theft after a jewelry store claimed she took a $2,500 necklace without permission.
Lohan has pleaded not guilty and her attorney has said she is innocent. The actress last week rejected a plea deal that included guaranteed jail time and is due in court on April 22 for a preliminary hearing during which prosecutors will lay out some of their evidence against the starlet.
An email from Lohan's attorney, Shawn Holley, stated she was out of the office and was not immediately available for comment.
If she is ordered to stand trial, a judge could send Lohan to jail for violating her probation.
The actress has been a fixture at LA-area courthouses since May, when she missed a court appearance and was later sent to jail for 14 days for violating her probation. Another judge sent her to jail briefly and she was sentenced to rehab twice as well. The jewelry store reported the necklace missing within three weeks of Lohan's release from the Betty Ford Center.

What? What! Not Lindsay! No! She'd never, ever flash beaver where papparazzi could snap a pic! She's a very modest, fine example of womanhood for young girls to emulate!

Lindsay Lohan posts bail quickly practice makes perfect?

Lindsay Lohan might not be so good at probation, but she appears to have the bail thing nailed. Never dismiss the power of "practice, practice, practice."
Lohan promptly posted $100,000 bond Wednesday, with L.A. Now reporting she'd spent less than an hour in custody after Judge Stephanie Sautner revoked her probation, pending a hearing set for Nov. 2.
Before her client was cuffed, attorney Shawn Chapman Holley had pointed out that Lilo's bail bondsman was in the court and ready to go to work if the judge wanted to skip any steps, but Sautner wasn't about to catch that Hail Mary. "No," she said, the sheriff's deputies were going to do their thing. "Take her into custody."
At the next hearing, the judge will decide after hearing from witnesses whether Lohan has again violated the terms of her probation which Sautner referred to as "a gift, not a right." At issue? Did she show up in person for all required counseling sessions, and what exactly prompted the Downtown Women's Center to make her persona non grata regarding community service.
Should the actress be found in violation, it's unclear whether she'd actually head back to jail, or be looking at more home detention. In court the judge made reference to a massive, budget-related transfer of felons from state prisons to county lockups, which could make jails too crowded to house misdemeanor offenders.
Also Wednesday, the hits kept coming for Lindsay: While in court, TMZ said, she was served with notice of a civil suit being filed against her by Dawn Holland, the former Betty Ford Center worker who alleged Lohan roughed her up when she tried to administer a breath test for alcohol after the actress and others went AWOL from a sober house.
Though local police said they had enough evidence, Riverside County authorities in March decided against filing criminal charges related to the December 2010 altercation.
