 After her sentencing Ms Lohan admitted she had a drink problem |
The 21-year-old, who was sentenced in August to one day in jail, was searched before being put in a holding cell at the Los Angeles County jail.
The charges stemmed from arrests following an alleged car chase in July, and a crash in Beverley Hills in May.
The Sheriff's spokesman said Ms Lohan was "cooperative". Jail sentences are often shortened due to overcrowding.
'Addiction'
When asked if she had been given special treatment because she is a celebrity, spokesman Steve Whitmore said: "Absolutely not. This is what we do for mostly everybody in this position.
"In fact, 30 to 50 women are granted early releases from the facility every day," he said.
The actress has just finished a second stint in a rehabilitation centre in Utah, after admitting she had a drink and drugs problem in August.
"It is clear to me that my life has become completely unmanageable because I am addicted to alcohol and drugs," the star said in a statement at the time.
During her arrests in May and July, Ms Lohan was found in possession of small amounts of cocaine.
She reached a plea deal on the drunken driving and cocaine charges in August.
Ms Lohan was sentenced to four days in jail, but the judge gave her credit for 24 hours already served, and she elected to complete community service instead of 48 hours in jail.
The judge ordered her to complete 10 days of community service, spend three years on probation and 18 months on an alcohol-education program.
Ms Lohan spent two minutes longer in jail than fellow celebrity Nicole Richie did in August for a similar offence.
Ms Richie's co-star on TV's The Simple Life Paris Hilton served 23 days at the same jail earlier this year.
It was after she was found guilty of driving on a suspended licence while on probation for an alcohol-related reckless-driving case.
