Troubled US actress Lindsay Lohan was on Tuesday ordered to spend 90 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation by drinking.

Lohan broke into tears in the courtroom as Judge Marsha Revel announced her judgement.

In addition to her jail sentence, Revel ordered Lohan to spend three months in a rehabilitation clinic after finding that she had failed to attend rehab courses in recent months that had been ordered in an earlier ruling.

The 24-year-old actress avoided arrest in June when her representatives posted part of a $200,000 bail after an alcohol bracelet detected that she had been drinking after the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles.

Lohan was fitted with the bracelet earlier this year as part of her probation after two previous convictions of drunk driving dating back to 2007.
