The alarm on Lindsay Lohan's alcohol-detecting ankle bracelet was set off at an MTV Movie Awards after-party, according to numerous reports.

The now internet-famous SCRAM bracelet monitors the wearer's perspiration for alcohol.

It's not clear what the so-called SCRAM device off; someone could have spilled alcohol on the court-ordered devise at a party, or it may have been tampered with. But The New York Daily News thinks that's unlikely in Lohan's case.

"Our information is that it was not a mistake or malfunction," an unnamed source told The Daily News.

If the free-spirited actress was consuming alcohol, she may end up in jail.

In May, Judge Marsha Revel ordered the 23-year-old actress to wear the bracelet after she broke her probation agreement for a DUI charge. Revel is expected to receive a SCRAM report by tomorrow, and if the device did find alcohol in LiLo's system, the judge could revoke her bail.
