LOS ANGELES (BNO NEWS) -- Actress Lindsay Lohan on Thursday began her 35-day home detention for violating her probation by taking a necklace at a Venice jewelry store, police said.

The 24-year-old 'Mean Girls' actress pled no contest to a misdemeanor theft charge last month and was found to be in violation of the terms of her probation. She was previously sentenced to 120 days in jail, as well as 480 hours of community service, but received no actual jail time.

Lohan instead chose to serve 35 days in home detention with an electronic monitoring program offered through the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Community Based Alternatives to Custody program.

"Lindsay Lohan was booked at 5.02 a.m. today at the Century Regional Detention Facility, and was fitted with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and released to serve her time in home detention," said Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office. "Ms. Lohan will be under the supervision of the Sheriff's Department and her release date is expected to be around June 29. She will serve about 35 days on home detention."

The booking process that took place on Thursday morning is known as an 'over-the-counter' booking, Whitmore explained, and therefore no booking photo was taken.
