A judge says Lindsay Lohan has completed her sentence in a reckless driving case and closed the last of a series of Los Angeles criminal cases that have dogged the actress for years.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Mark Young ended Lindsay’s probation after reviewing community service logs and deciding the actress had completed her sentence.

The Mean Girls actress has been on some form of probation since 2007, when she pleaded no contest to driving under the influence and drug charges.

She was later charged with stealing a necklace and reckless driving after crashing her Porsche while on the way to a movie set.

Lindsay tweeted and posted a photo to Instagram about her probation coming to an end, captioning it: “Hard work pays off. Thank you to all those that allowed me to volunteer while in nyc. God bless you all. Amen.”

The cases have damaged Lindsay’s career, who shot to stardom after appearing in the Disney films Freaky Friday and The Parent Trap. Her attempts to revive her film career have stalled.
