Lindsay Lohan avoids jail, but judge bans parties during house arrest.

Lindsay Lohan's failed alcohol test last week will not be held against on her because judge didn't renew a requirement that she be tested, according to the ruling in Los Angeles on Thursday.

The requirements that her supervised probation include the random alcohol and drug testing expired in February when she was arrested on a necklace theft charge and transferred from a Beverly Hills court to the Los Angeles airport branch, Judge Stephanie Saunter said that,
"Lindsay has done nothing wrong," defense attorney Shawn Holley said after the hearing.


Contrary to what the judge and the probation officer believed until Thursday, it was not against Lohan's probation rules to drink and she did not have to submit to tests, Saunter ruled.

Lohan waited no time show she was happy with her court appearance. "Thank you to all of my fans for your support. Sending you Love and Light. xo," she wrote in a Twitter posting an hour after leaving the courthouse.

The judge told Lohan she was guilty of "extremely poor judgment" by having roof parties while on home confinement, "but poor judgment is not a violation of your probation."

Lohan failed an alcohol test administered by a probation officer last week and was ordered to go before the judge for a probation violation hearing Thursday morning. But Lohan's attorney convinced the judge the testing requirement had lapsed in February.

lohan said "I am not happy about house arrest," Saunter said Thursday. "It was not my sentence."

The judge said she was on vacation when she saw media reports this month showing Lohan socializing on the roof of her luxury home in recent days.

"You are not to have parties," Saunter said. "I am ordering it. You can have a one friend at this time. Thats it."

The actress, who turns 25 on July 2, has managed to avoid more than a few days in jail despite two drunken-driving convictions, a long list of probation violations and the recent theft conviction.
