Lindsay Lohan "angry" about jail sentence

Lindsay Lohan was briefly behind bars this Easter weekend, and I'm not talking chocolate bars.
Lindsay was told by a court that she'd been in violation of her probation - after being accused of theft - and a judge sentenced her to 120 days of jail time and 480 hours of community service.
A friend of hers told People magazine that Lindsay was not happy with the judge's sentence:
"Obviously, she is upset about [being sentenced to four months in jail].
"She is angry because she has been working so hard on turning her life around. She didn't do what they said she did. She didn't steal that necklace."
Lindsay is still on probation after a 2007 drink-driving offence, and has been accused of walking out of a store without paying for a £1500 necklace. She claims she forgot she was wearing it, and will appear in court on June 3 for the trial.
Judge Stephanie Sautner showed some disbelief as she said:
"If it was an accident she had the numbers to call them back to return it."
Her friend, Nathan Folks, claims she is clean and sober and has a healthy attitude to her punishment:
"She is ready to do her time. She wants to go to A.A. and N.A. and to serve her [more than] 400 hours [of community service]. She has already been doing lots of charity work."
After being sentenced to jail time for her probation violation she was allowed to post bail. This meant she was released within hours, and can remain free pending an appeal of her sentence. Legal experts say it's not looking good for that appeal, though.
Obviously it was not a Good Friday for Ms. Lohan...
