Lindsay Lohan was released from Lynnwood Detention Center just outside of LA early this morning at 1:30am PT. She exited not from the usual front or back door but from an unknown location.

A spokesperson for the correctional facility made a brief statement after her exit, simply confirming Lohan's release.

X17 photographers are following Lindsay's two-car caravan right now, as Lindsay is expected to check into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility immediately. Reports have claimed Lohan would seek treatment at UCLA Medical Center but so far the SUVs don't appear to be en route to Westwood.
