9:22 AM: The District Attorney’s office said they have witnesses who will testify that Lindsay was allegedly drinking the night her SCRAM went off following the MTV Movies Awards in June – something the actress has denied.

The judge said that Lindsay’s SCRAM device going off last month could be brought up in today’s probation violation hearing. Judge Revel said, “I just had somebody wear the SCRAM for a year and it didn’t go off once. It’s remarkable that it went off within two weeks of her having it on.”

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, according to the Associated Press, Tuesday’s hearing will likely include testimony and evidence about the 24-year-old’s ongoing progress with her probation. Los Angeles County district attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons told the AP that the prosecutor in the case could still decide not to seek jail time for Lindsay. If the actress is sent to jail by the judge, she will be taken into custody immediately.
The AP also reported that if Lindsay avoids jail, she could also possibly get to remove her SCRAM alcohol-monitoring device that she has had to wear around her ankle since May.
