We now know the third person arrested in connection with the burglaries of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge's home -- 18-year old Alexis Neiers.
TMZ shot Alexis (right), Diana Tamayo (center) and Courtney Ames (left) as cops brought them into Van Nuys jail in the back of a cruiser last night -- after the trio was arrested for felony burglary.
Ames and Neiers were released after posting $50,000 bail. On the way out, Ames denied any wrongdoing while Neiers said "I didn't do jack s**t, it's a joke." Tamayo is still in custody.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ 18-year-old Courtney Ames and 19-year-old Diana Tamayo were both arrested today for felony burglary. They are believed to be connected to 18-year-old Nick Prugo -- who has already been charged with two counts of felony residential burglary.
Bail for both Ames and Tamayo has been set at $50,000.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the homes of Orlando Bloom and Paris Hilton may have also been hit by Nick Prugo and his band of alleged burglars.
Bloom's Hollywood home was hit back in July -- cops say $500,000 in jewelry was taken.
Hilton's Hollywood Hills home was burglarized in December 2008 -- she reported roughly $2 million worth of missing stuff.
We're also told there may be more celeb victims involved.
Sources also tell TMZ three people have been detained and are being questioned by LAPD detectives right now -- the group does not include Prugo.

TMZ has learned Nick Prugo -- the 18-year-old who was arrested for allegedly burglarizing Lindsay Lohan's home in August -- has been charged with two felony residential burglaries and the second involves another celebrity.
We're told the Los Angeles County District Attorney's office has charged Prugo with both Lindsay's burglary and the burglary of "The Hills" star Audrina Patridge.
Both break-ins were caught on surveillance video and it appears Prugo has a starring role in each of them.
As for the other burglars in the videos ... so far no arrests have been made.

It's amazing how quickly your famous friends will dump you when you're accused of stealing ... from famous people.
Nick Prugo (right), who cops believe was a part of celeb burglaries of Lindsay Lohan and Audrina Patridge, was spotted out last week with Nickelodeon star Drake Bell (left) and Playboy Cyber Girl Tess Taylor (hot chick). But each of them tells TMZ they see Nick in a whole new light now.
Tess tells us, "I have known Nick for many years but have decided to distance myself after his recent incident. I really don't agree with his choices or the people that he has surrounded himself with. Drake Bell and I were at the Roosevelt when I happened to run into Nick inside. That picture of us three was taken as Drake and I were leaving, and it's pretty obvious Nick followed us out to get his picture taken. I am embarrassed to have ever been his friend."
Drake wasn't quite as harsh, saying, "I was introduced to Nick Prugo a while back from some of my friends. After we met I've hung out with him on different occasions, and he's even been over to my house a couple times. Sometimes when people have come to my house I've been wary of what they might do. With Nick I never felt that I had to be wary of him, but I'm definitely going to be careful now."

It's hard to imagine wanting an extra year of probation, but when you're Lindsay Lohan -- and facing possible jail time -- it's actually a good thing.
A judge today decided to extend Lindsay's probation another year so she can finish her alcohol education classes. Her lawyer, the effervescent Shawn Chapman Holley, told the judge Lindsay has been extremely busy and has only been able to complete about half her classes.
Specifically, Lindsay has completed 15 of 26 individual alcohol classes and 13 of 26 group alcohol classes and 13 of 28 self-help sessions. She completed all six education classes.
Lindsay's lawyer says her client is doing a movie in Texas.
The prosecutor said if the court has to jump through hoops again to accommodate Lindsay, jail is the only answer.
All sides will be back in court for another progress hearing on December 15.

We've gotten to the bottom of why Lindsay Lohan is getting hauled back into court, and this video will be Exhibit A today when her lawyer tries to convince the judge that Lindsay will improve her attendance record at her alcohol ed course.
As we first reported, the Right On Programs -- which Lindsay was ordered to attend as part of her DUI probation -- notified the judge that Lindsay was not satisfying the requirements of the program. Now we have details.
Sources tell TMZ Lindsay had gotten a leave of absence from the course a while back so she could leave the state and work. Time passed and Lindsay never got back in touch with the program so officials there contacted the judge.
This video -- shot yesterday afternoon -- shows Lindsay going back to school. She only has about 6 weeks more to finish the course and it's unlikely the judge will violate her probation, assuming Her Honor believes LiLo is sincere when she appears in court this AM.
Stay tuned...

Sources tell TMZ the alcohol education course which Lindsay Lohan is taking as part of her probation not only contacted the court about Lindsay's conduct ... we're told they may have already told the court she is outright violating the terms of the program.
As we first told you, the judge in Lindsay's DUI case has ordered her to appear for the progress report. Lindsay pled no contest to DUI in 2007.
If the judge determines Lindsay violated the terms of the program, her probation can be revoked and Lindsay could end up in jail.

TMZ has learned the judge in Lindsay Lohan's DUI case is so concerned about the famous defendant, she's ordered her to appear personally tomorrow for her progress report.
Sources tell TMZ the judge has received information from the people who run the alcohol education program that triggered concern.
Typically in a misdemeanor case like this the defendant would not have to appear. Not so with Lindsay.
We'll be there tomorrow.
Stay tuned.

The guy arrested for allegedly burglarizing Lindsay Lohan's home has broken into another celebrity domain -- the inner circle of Nickelodeon star Drake Bell.
The dude in the beanie is Nick Prugo. While cops believe he has a pattern of stealing from celebrities like Lindsay and Audrina Patridge, Drake and Playboy Cyber Girl Tess Taylor didn't seem to care Tuesday night -- kicking it with Prugo at the Roosevelt Hotel.
Hey Tess, hope you got insurance on those bracelets.
