The Riverside County District Attorney believes Lindsay Lohan violated her probation in the altercation with a staffer at the Betty Ford Center ... and if the Beverly Hills judge handling her case agrees ... Lindsay could go to jail.
As TMZ reported, Dawn Holland, a staffer at Betty Ford, claims Lindsay assaulted and injured her last month after allegedly violating her curfew.
Holland -- who has since been fired by Betty Ford -- notified authorities by aletter obtained by TMZthat she had no interest in pursuing a criminal case. But the Riverside PD now says the case will be submitted to the District Attorney anyway because police believe Lindsay committed a battery and therefore violated her probation.
One of the terms of probation is that Lindsay must obey all laws.
The Riverside PD is forwarding its file on the case to the L.A. County Probation Office.

People: Lindsay Lohan may go back to jail

Sheriff's investigators want Lindsay Lohan charged with battery for last month's skirmish with a Betty Ford Center rehabilitation technician.
And Samantha Ronson wants her out of her neighborhood.
First things first. A two-week investigation shows Lohan violated her probation during the altercation and details will go to the Los Angeles County Probation Department and the Riverside County district attorney's office this week, Riverside sheriff's Sgt. Joe Borja said Tuesday. A Beverly Hills judge has said Lohan would be jailed if she violated probation.
Lohan returned to the Betty Ford Center in Palm Desert on Dec. 12 after curfew and refused rehab worker Dawn Holland's request to take a Breathalyzer test, Holland has claimed. Lohan is accused of pushing Holland, who then dialed 911 and, when Lohan ripped the phone away from her, injured Holland's wrist. Lohan has been receiving treatment at Betty Ford, about 120 miles east of Los Angeles, since late September. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Elden Fox, who has overseen Lohan's probation for her 3˝-year-old drunken driving case, required Lohan to remain at the rehab center until Monday.
The actress is due back in court Feb. 25 in Beverly Hills for a hearing at which Fox is expected to address Lohan's probation and the Betty Ford altercation. Lohan was scheduled to leave rehab Monday, but there were conflicting reports about whether the 24-year-old actress was

released.
TMZ reported Monday that Lohan was still taking sobriety classes at the center and would come back to Los Angeles on Tuesday, although E! insisted she departed the facility Monday, citing Lohan's mother. Lohan herself remained silent Tuesday on Twitter.
Lohan's father, Michael, was also mum on whether Lohan was actually leaving rehab Monday. Although TMZ reported he showed up with a moving truck at a vacant Venice Beach condo next door to -- wait for it -- Ronson's house.
Guess Lindsay missed that lecture in rehab about staying away from emotional triggers. Ronson, Lohan's former girlfriend, was caught off-guard, telling TMZ as she tried to get her car past the moving van partially blocking the street, "Trust me, it wasn't planned." She said she couldn't talk because "Dude, I'm way too (ticked) off right now."

Im really excited to be back on set and clear up all the misinterpretations about me and show this is what I love to do, she told the AP. I think in the past, I had a lot of distractions, she said. Ive learned a lot. Ive lived a lot. When Im on set, its about the film.

Lindsay Lohan released from jail after posting $75,000 bond
By Alan Duke, CNN
April 23, 2011 -- Updated 0558 GMT (1358 HKT)
Lindsay Lohan was bailed out of jail Friday after she was sentenced for violating her probation.
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
NEW: Lohan leaves jail after 5 hours in custody Friday evening
She posted a $75,000 bond while she appeals the jail sentence
The judge sentences Lohan to 120 days in jail for a probation violation
Lohan's theft charge is reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor
Los Angeles (CNN) -- Lindsay Lohan spent five hours in custody before posting a $75,000 bond Friday evening after a judge sentenced her to 120 days in jail for violating her drunk driving probation with her arrest for stealing a necklace.
Her release from Los Angeles County's Lynwood Correctional Facility capped a long day that included a victory for the actress when the judge reduced the felony grand theft charge to a misdemeanor.
Lohan will remain free on bond while her lawyer appeals the jail sentence for the probation violation, but she must immediately start serving 480 hours of community service, Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner said,
The community service, includes 360 hours at a downtown Los Angeles women's center, which Judge Sautner suggested might cause Lohan to behave better after seeing "how truly needy women and women who have fallen on real hard times have to live."

She must complete another 120 hours of community service at the Los Angeles County morgue.
The judge ruled Friday that the necklace theft case against Lohan will go forward to trial, but the felony charge was reduced to a misdemeanor.
"I'm going to give her an opportunity," Sautner said.
Sautner did not buy the defense argument that Lohan accidentally walked out of a Venice, California, jewelry store wearing a necklace that later appeared around her neck in photographs taken five days later.
"If in fact it was an accident, she could have called the store back," Sautner said.
Defense attorney Shawn Holley argued that Lohan was busy and scattered when she was at the store and absent-mindedly walked out with the necklace.
"It's undisputed that Ms. Lohan walked out of the store with the necklace on," Holley said. The prosecution must show she had "specific intent to permanently deprive the store of that necklace."
While Holley conceded that Lohan "did not rush to return the necklace," but it just "makes her not a very considerate or courteous person."
"The fact that she may not have been a courteous or considerate person doesn't make her a thief," Holley said.
"I see the intent here and the level of brazenness to say 'Let me see what I can get away with here,' " Sautner said.
A police detective testified that Lohan's assistant handed the necklace to a police officer after learning through a website posting that police had obtained a search warrant hours earlier to search for it in her home.
Prosecutor Danette Meyers argued that "it doesn't take a rocket scientist" to realize Lohan returned the necklace to police because she knew her home was about to be searched.
Lohan's trial date was set for June 3, but she must return to court for a hearing May 11, the judge said.
A misdemeanor could still result in up to a year in prison for Lohan.
Before delivering the good news to Lohan about the reduction of the charge, the judge addressed her much-publicized misbehavior.
"She thumbs her nose at the court," Sautner said, referring to an incident with another judge last year. "She walks into court with 'F U' on her fingernails. I don't know what that means unless it has 'I am' before it."
The jeweler who accused Lohan of stealing the gold and diamond necklace testified Friday that she had not gotten any money from selling the security camera video of the actress in her store.
Kamofie and Company owner Sofia Kamen was the second witness called by the prosecution in the preliminary hearing.
Holley used the the store's licensing of the video, for a reported $40,000, to question Kamen's motives in accusing Lohan of theft.
All of the money from the video licensing went to publicist Christopher Spencer, who Kamen said she fired last month because he was negotiating deals for the store that she was not interested in, she testified.
Kamen said that she realized the necklace was missing 10 minutes after the actress left the store last January.
She wasn't closely watching Lohan, even though there was another incident four days earlier in which the actress almost walked out wearing a diamond earring.
"We thought it was an accident," Kamen said. "We weren't thinking that she would take it."
The first prosecution witness was Tinelli Comsooksri, a store employee who was working the day of the earring incident.
"She was covering the earring that she still left on with her hair," Comsooksri said. She stopped Lohan as she was walking out, Comsooksri said.
As prosecutor Meyers held the infamous necklace, now known as "People's Exhibit 2," Kamen testified that it was priced at $2,500 although it cost the store only $850. She explained that retail jewelers routinely triple the wholesale price.
The value of the necklace was a crucial issue for Lohan for the felony grand theft charge to be reduced to a misdemeanor. Shoplifting offenses are charged as petty theft if the property taken is valued at less than $950.
Lohan has been in court nine times in the past year, mostly for hearings related to probation violations for her 2007 drunk driving case.
She did a short stint in jail last year, but she also checked into substance abuse rehab twice under court order.

If you thought your Easter weekend of traveling around to relatives houses and scrambling to whip up some tasty treats was busy and erratic, youve got nothing on Lindsay Lohan.
The starlet was sentenced to 120 days in jail on Friday, and after nearly five hours in custody following her hearing, Lohan posted bail and is for now, at least a free woman. She is expected to appeal the judges decision of jail time.
TMZ reports Lohan was blindsided by the jail sentence she received, as many had speculated that if her charges were reduced from felony theft to misdemeanor charges, she would be able to escape any time behind bars. For some reason, that didnt happen and she was hit with three months of hard time and 480 hours of community service.
Producer Nathan Folks, who is friends with Lohan, told People following the decision that Lindsay is angry about how things ended up because she has been working so hard on turning her life around She didnt do what they said she did. She didnt steal that necklace.
Prior to the sentencing on Friday, Lohan made a rare statement on Twitter, saying:
With my family and thinking of my grandfather whos birthday was yesterday and unfortunately passed away a few years ago i am just grateful for the life i have, i cannot explain how excited i am to begin working on films again, on top of that- i better get one of my two favorite scripts that i am in love with. my friends know what they both are.. all my love- LL god bless and gnight :)
The latest legal drama all started on January 22 when Lindsay allegedly walked out of Kamofie & Company, a Venice jewelry store, with a $2,500 necklace. Lindsay was caught on surveillance tape trying on the necklace and leaving the store with her group of friends.
Lindsay claims that she is not guilty of the felony grand theft charges. The 24-year-old actress alleges that she was loaned the necklace by the store owner for publicity purposes. The Mean Girls actress returned the necklace several weeks after obtaining it at the store.

Lindsay LohanCutting It Closewith Probation Lindsay Lohan goes before Judge Stephanie Sautner tomorrow for her second probation progress report and she will once again pass with flying colors ... but this time it came down to the wire ... sources tell TMZ.
As the judge dictated back in November, Lindsay was required to complete 12 morgue visits and 4 psychotherapy sessions by Tuesday's court hearing. Sources close to Lindsay tell us she's done just that ... but she completed the last 2 morgue visits on Friday and Saturday.
According to our sources, Lindsay has been a model morgue employee. Translation -- She gets the job done with no drama and she's friendly with the staff.
After tomorrow's hearing Lindsay will be at the halfway mark of her probation. She has another hearing February 15, where she'll have to show proof she completed another 12 morgue visits and 4 therapy classes. And on March 29 -- her final hearing -- she must show she's completed the remaining 17 morgue visits and 6 therapy classes.
Should Lindsay slip up at any point, she gets 270 days behind bars.
We'll be in court tomorrow.
