Michael Lohan's attorney has sent a letter to the judge in Lindsay's DUI probation case, asking that his daughter be sent to inpatient rehab or be required to undergo random drug testings. TMZ.com reports that the letter -- which appears to be an attempt to keep Lindsay out of jail -- acknowledges that "Lindsay may have violated the terms of her probation by missing multiple court-ordered alcohol education classes."

The letter ends with his lawyer saying Michael does not want his daughter to become "the next Hollywood statistic."
