Lindsay Lohan faces jail if she doesn't make it back to LA for morning court

You might think that Lindsay Lohan would have done everything she could to make her court appearance on Monday.

After all, should she miss it she faces imprisonment.

But the Liz & Dick actress skipped her flight on Saturday night to see a band called City of the Sun at The Red Door in New York.

And it has now emerged that Lindsay got off her flight back to Los Angeles on Sunday night after deeming the plane too unsafe.

Fuel leak: The troubled starlet and 35 other passengers got off the flight, which did in fact get diverted to Las Vegas for more fuel

If the Just My Luck star fails to appear in Los Angeles at 8:30am on Monday the judge will issue a bench warrant for her arrest.

Lohan was charged with three misdemeanors, including lying to police after her June 8 car crash in Santa Monica.

TMZ also learned that if the Mean Girls actress is convicted of lying to cops, the LA prosecutors plan to ask the judge to sentence her the maximum - 240 days in jail.

However it's said that Lindsay, who's facing another two years of probation, will probably only serve between 60 and 90 days in the slammer.

'We will be there Monday': Fox News legal analyst David Wohl from Orange County criminal law firm Wallin & Klarich stepped up with an offer to represent Lohan

The flame-haired actress also has yet to officially hire a new lawyer.

Her current counsel, Mark Heller, drew ire from a judge in January who questioned his knowledge of California law, as he currently practices in New York.

Heller heeded the warning and sought assistance from respected Orange County criminal law firm Wallin & Klarich, who offered up Fox News legal analyst David Wohl.

'@lindsaylohan My law firm was hired by your Dad. He wants nothing but the best for you. We will be there Monday to help, if we're allowed,' the 24-year California court veteran tweeted on Friday.

However, Lindsay is yet to approve Wohl as her representation, according to the Los Angeles Times.
