No Bail for Lindsay Lohan, she has been sentenced to 14 days in Los Angeles County Jail in Lynwood, From Bail Bondsman in Los Angeles and Lynwood

                                                        Lindsay Lohan is expected to be released from a Lynwood jail on Aug. 2, serving only 14 days of her 90-day sentence, according to a Sheriff's Department booking document.

The information listed on the public website is based on a an approximate time based on the severity of her charges and previous criminal history.Some news agencies have reported the normal amount of time is approximately 25%, but in our experience the norm is about 10%.
The booking document lists Aug. 2 as the "projected release date." A Sheriff's Department spokesman could not immediately reached for comment. It's possible Lohan could serve more time because judge ruled out work release or electronic monitoring in the probation-violation case.

[Updated, 3:10 p.m.: Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Lohan could possibly serve only 13 days in jail instead of 14.

"Her projected release date is Aug. 1 or Aug. 2," he said, explaining that information initially posted on the sheriff's inmate information website was based on one 30-day sentence because a clerk missed Lohan's other two 30-day sentences.

The website was changed to reflect Lohan serving 51 days after factoring in time for good behavior. As a nonviolent female inmate, Lohan is eligible to serve only about 25% of the 51 days because of overcrowding, which brings the final figure to 13 or 14 days, Whitmore said.]

Officials said Lohan was completely cooperative when she was looked into the Century Regional Detention Facility on Tuesday morning.

After the booking, Lohan entered the jail's triage, where she was to receive a standard medical and psychological evaluation, Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore told media members gathered outside the jail.


State guidelines for handling prisoners would apply to the actress, although "people with notoriety are kept away" from the general jail population for security purposes, he said.

At the Beverly Hills courthouse where Lohan surrendered shortly after 8:30 a.m. to begin serving her time, her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, said the actress had completed court-ordered alcohol education classes and accepted her jail term.

"She is scared, as anyone would be, but she is resolute," Holley said. "She asks for prayers and support. ... She has accepted responsibility."

Although earlier there had been confusion over which attorney would represent Lohan in court, Holley said Robert Shapiro, who at one point had said he was Lohan's new attorney, was only a consultant to the actress.

Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Judge Marsha Revel last month sentenced Lohan to 90 days in jail for violating probation on a drunk-driving conviction.

Deputy Dist. Atty, Danette Meyers, who prosecuted Lohan, said the sentence was "was appropriate in this case."

"The message to the public is don't drink and drive," she said. "If you do drink and drive, and you're punished for it, complete the programs."

Orange County Bail Bondsman Killed, From Bail Bondsman in Orange County and Newport Beach

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA – The owner of a bail bonds business died after he was shot by another man at least once at a home here in an upscale neighborhood, Orange County Sheriff's officials said.

A little before midnight Saturday, a man who authorities later identified as Dean Patrick Maldonado was shot by a 51-year-old man who was a guest at a home on the 21300 block of Stonetower Drive, Sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said.

Maldonado, 49, runs Maldonado Bail Bonds in Newport Beach.
Amormino said Maldonado was an acquaintance of the woman who owns the two-story home. The 51-year-old was inside the home with the woman when Maldonado came into the home through a rear sliding door. Some time afterwards, the shooting occurred, Amormino said.
Maldonado died at the scene.

It's unclear, however, what led up to the shooting and the investigation is ongoing, Amormino said. Investigators are still at the scene and in the midst of sorting out what happened and have held off on making any arrests for now, he added.

Maldonado's daughter Megan Maldonado said Sunday that the home her father had visited in Rancho Santo Margarita belongs to his girlfriend.

Property records show that the home belongs to Linda Sprowl, who is also known as Linda Shaw-Sprowl, a fitness trainer in Trabuco Canyon.

Reached by telephone on Sunday, Sprowl declined to comment.

"I'm not available at the moment," she said before hanging up.

In a telephone interview, Megan Maldonado said that she doesn't know the details of her father's death. However, she did say that her father was a very positive person.

His Facebook page shows several inspirational phrases such as "If You Don't Like Something Change It; If you Can't Change It, Change the Way You Think About It," which he wrote on his wall on Tuesday.

Megan Maldonado said her father was the type of person who struck up conversations with just about anyone.

"He would meet a waitress at our table and have a full on conversation with her," she said.

Maldonado, a father of three children, was a bodybuilder who loved fitness and the beach, said Megan, who is his oldest child.

"The beach and his kids were his life," said the 24-year-old. "He loved life and enjoyed everything. We were his life."

Maldonado's Bail Bonds Facebook page describes Maldonado as single Newport Beach resident.

His last Facebook entry was Thursday when he wrote "I'm a Sucker for Love."

NO BAIL FOR PREVIOUSLY DEPORTED MAN WHO STRUCK AND KILLED BICYCLIST, FROM NEWPORT BEACH BAIL BONDSMAN

NEWPORT BEACH — An Anaheim man involved in a fatal collision with a bicyclist has a history of being ticketed for driving without a license and was previously deported by immigration authorities, police said Friday.


Jose Luis Huerta Mundo, 38, was being held in Orange County Jail without bail after Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials ordered that he be held for possible deportation proceedings.

Court records show that in 1999, Mundo was convicted of driving with a suspended license and not having proof of insurance. In 2002, he was convicted of not having his license on him and a year later, for not having his vehicle registered. He was convicted two more times of driving without a license, in 2005 and 2006.

Mundo, a landscaper, was detained by Newport Beach police Thursday morning his truck collided with bicyclist Michael Nine, 43, of Santa Ana. Mundo was driving a white Chevrolet stake bed truck that collided with Nine, who was riding his bicycle near Spyglass Hill Road and Harbor Ridge Drive. Nine died from his injuries, and police are investigating what happened.

Federal authorities would not say if and when Mundo was previously deported, but a record of a past deportation showed up when officers verified his identity at the police station, said Sgt. Evan Sailor.

The area is frequented in the morning by cyclists who coast down the swerving, downhill street.

This was the third fatal bicycle-vehicle collision here in less than a year.

Darryl Benefiel, a 43-year-old bicyclist from Newport Beach, was killed July 23 in Newport Coast. Donald Murphy, 49, of Irvine, died from injuries Dec. 9 when he was rear-ended on Jamboree Road.

After Benefiel's death, the city created a task force to study bicycle safety in Newport Beach. The task force came back to the council in May with a list of recommendations to improve bicyclist safety and drivers' awareness of bike riders in the city.

Group members consider Thursday's crash a wake-up call to the city to do something about bicyclists and drivers, especially in popular biking areas like Corona del Mar and the Balboa Peninsula.

"I'm not sure anything we discussed in the task force would've prevented this," said group member Daniel Murphy. "Anytime a bike and a car tangle, unfortunately the car is going to be the victor. I do think what it does is bring back into focus how important bike safety is. Hopefully it'll jump start discussions."

Task force member Tony Petros agreed.

"Each situation has to be evaluated on its own merits," Petros said. "Right now we don't know whose fault it is. We don't even know if there's fault to be assigned."

He said the city could add street signs warning drivers about bicyclists, or add bike lanes among other things. But the city can only do so much, Petros said.

"We can plan and design but no amount of planning and design can mitigate the individual," he said. "Unfortunately, good planning and design can always be trumped by the individual, be it the cyclist or the motorist."
