Despite having been faced with the possibility of serving time behind bars, Lindsay Lohan is thankful for today's (June 23) court hearing over an alcohol-related probation violation.

The 24-year-old, who is currently serving a 120-day house arrest sentence, went before a Los Angeles judge this morning to answer up after allegedly failing a court-ordered alcohol test.

However, Judge Stephanie Sautner decided that the alcohol infringement didn’t count because Lindsay’s prior judge, Eldon Fox, only required substance testing until February 25th.

Now, according to a FOX News source, LiLo is actually thankful for today's hearing, as they explained, “Lindsay is always grateful for these situations because they bring her back into the ‘present.’”
