Lindsay Lohan, the 24-year-old actress, has been accused of stealing a $2500 necklace from a store in Venice, California. The Los Angeles Police Department has handed the case over to the Los Angeles District Attorney’s office. They have obtained a search warrant for her house.
When they got it, a friend of Lohan’s brought the necklace to the Pacific Division police station. Los Angeles Times was told that a surveillance camera showed Lohan wearing the necklace.
However, she claims she “borrowed” it and her stylist forgot to return it. According to ABC New, this is not the first time she has been linked to missing jewelry. In 2009, Lindsay Lohan was in England when $400,000 worth of jewelry went missing from the set of Elle magazine. They say, “Elle has no reason to believe that Lindsay Lohan was in any way responsible.”
Dezire Diaz, a Penn Manor freshman says that Lindsay Lohan probably didn’t steal the necklace, “She has better things to worry about”
If she is convicted she will serve up to three years in the California State Prison.
According to Hollywood Life.com, Lohan showed up to the court in a snug white mini-dress for the occasion.
She pleaded not guilty and after took her fifth mug shot and paid $40,000 for her bail. Her probation has been revoked.
According to TMZ, Lidnsey Lohan’s attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said,”We vehemently deny these allegations and, if charges are filed, we will fight them in court, not in the press.”
The necklace was said to be a gold choker with green, semiprecious stones.
A video was released showing Lindsay in the jewelry store and now the store is selling the tape.
