EXCLUSIVE
Lindsay Lohan may have done it again ... dodged a jail bullet by the luck of the judicial draw.?
We broke the story ... Lindsay will be arraigned today on 3 criminal charges -- including lying to cops -- in connection with her car accident on Pacific Coast Highway last June.? We know the judge who will arraign her -- Commissioner Jane Godfrey -- will formally revoke her probation during the hearing.? As you know, she's on probation for the jewelry heist case.
The Commissioner will order a formal hearing, and if the evidence shows it's more likely than not that LiLo committed a crime, the Commish could send her to jail for as long as 245 days.
Now the good news for Lindsay.? One source very familiar with the Commish tells TMZ ... "Godfrey is not a big jail person."?
Get this ... Commissioner Godfrey presides over Drug Court, in which she hears case after case involving people with serious drug cases.? Godfrey strongly favors counseling over jail, to the point she has a graduation ceremony for people who complete the program and digs into her own pocket to buy little gifts for the graduates ... like Starbucks cards.
And the Commish presides over Homeless Court ... where she deals with homeless people who have committed crimes and gets them help to rehabilitate them, instead of throwing them in jail.
Maybe Godfrey could start Night Club Court.? She does have the perfect defendant.

The L.A. County Dept. of Children and Family Services barged into Brooke Mueller's home the night following her OD, and turned the place upside down looking for drugs ... this according to Brooke.
Brooke is telling friends, DCFS investigators showed up hours after she returned from the hospital December 7th -- as we reported, Brooke was unresponsive after taking way too much Adderall.
Brooke says investigators tore her house apart for six hours, searching for signs of drug use, but finding nothing except a lone cigarette butt on the floor of the master bathroom.
We're told DCFS grilled Brooke ... to find out if she smoked indoors with the children present. We're told Brooke told investigators she smokes in her bathroom with windows open, far from her kids.
We're told DCFS woke up her twin boys and asked them questions like, "Has mommy ever touched you?" They also checked the boys for signs of physical abuse ... again finding nothing.
As we first reported, the kids are now with Charlie's second ex-wife, Denise Richards, while Brooke's in rehab.
We're told Brooke's pissed over the way DCFS conducted the investigation --? calling it "harassing."

The guys from "Pawn Stars" struck it rich with their hit show? -- and then turned their backs on the agents who brokered their initial contracts ... that according to a new lawsuit filed by the jilted talent agency.
The suit, filed by Venture IAB in L.A. County Superior Court ... claims all 3 Harrisons and Chumlee inked deals in 2007 and 2009 for the agency to represent them -- before "Pawn Stars" started airing on The History Channel.
According to the suit, in January 2010 -- 6 months after the show hit the air -- another agent and 2 'Pawn' execs ... convinced the cast to terminate their deal with Venture IAB.
In the suit, Venture claims the execs -- Mary Donahue and Nancy Dubuc -- "intended to disrupt" the agency's deal with the guys so their "friend and agent" could sign them.
Venture IAB is suing The History Channel, the agent and the execs for more than $5 million in damages.
As we previously reported, a very similar suit was filed by an ex-manager -- but that one named the Harrisons and Chumlee as defendants.

The L.A. City Attorney isn't wasting any time ... TMZ has learned, prosecutors have already filed papers asking the court to revoke Lindsay Lohan's probation.
TMZ broke the story ... the L.A. City Attorney had been planning to file docs asking the judge to revoke her probation in her jewelry heist case ...?but now, it's official. As sources told us, prosecutors are "out for blood."
According to the L.A. City Attorney's office, prosecutors want Lindsay's probation revoked because of the criminal charges recently filed against her in Santa Monica, stemming from her car accident on PCH this summer ... after which she lied to cops about being behind the wheel.
But the City Attorney's move is just a formality -- the judge doesn't need prosecutors' input ... she'll be revoking Lindsay's probation on her authority alone.
Lindsay is set to be arraigned tomorrow morning on 3 misdemeanor counts -- lying to cops, obstruction, and reckless driving.

RULE #1 of attending a Florence + the Machine concert: NO FIGHTING ALLOWED ... 'cause lead singer Florence Welch will scold your ass in front of the entire audience ... with her adorable English accent.
The footage was shot in Aberdeen, Scotland Sunday night ... Florence and her band were halfway through a song at the AECC arena when a fight broke out near the stage (starts at 1:20 in the video).
Rather than sing through the ruckus ... Florence stopped the show entirely to give the troublemakers a lesson in manners, saying, "No fighting allowed ... It doesn't matter whose fault it is ... seriously all of you, STOP IT."
The culprits apparently dropped their gloves ... and Florence -- who noticed a female fan had started crying during the melee -- jumped into the crowd to give her a hug.
Those Brits. Always so polite.
