US actress Lindsay Lohan has violated the terms of a court order after an alcohol-monitoring bracelet indicated she had been drinking.
A judge in Los Angeles has now doubled her bail to $200,000 (£138,390).
Lohan's lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley, issued a statement saying the device had detected the "presence of a small amount of alcohol" on Sunday night.
The device is punishment for missing a court hearing relating to a drink driving charge.
It is designed to test the skin for alcohol every half hour by sampling a person's perspiration. There are also sensors that check for tampering.
"Having just received the report, I am not in a position to speak to its accuracy or validity, however Ms Lohan maintains that she has been in complete compliance with all of the terms of her probation and her bail," Mr Chapman Holley said.
