US reports have claimed that Lindsay Lohan's three drug-related charges may be dropped, which could spare the actress from a jail sentence.
TMZ.com claims that the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office is disinclined to charge the star following her recent arrests.
The charges relate to two arrests for drunken-driving, the first in May in Beverly Hills, after a road accident, and the second in July in Santa Monica, following a car chase.
After the Beverly Hills incident, cocaine was found in Lohan's car.
After the Santa Monica chase, the actress was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, cocaine possession, bringing a controlled substance into custody and driving on a suspended license.
TMZ, citing unidentified law enforcement sources, said that Lohan would likely face misdemeanour drunk-driving charges for both incidents. If found guilty of both, she would serve a minimum of four days in jail.
Legal experts had previously said that Lohan could face up to three years behind bars if confronted with the full weight of the law.
Asked about the TMZ.com report, district attorney spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said the office has not yet received the Santa Monica case and the Beverly Hills case remains under review.
"A public discussion of potential charges prior to a case being filed would be inappropriate and potentially unethical," she said.
