LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Actress Lindsay Lohan was charged on Wednesday with grand theft over a $2,500 necklace that was allegedly taken from a Los Angeles jewelry store.
Lohan was scheduled to appear in court later on Wednesday for an arraignment on the single felony count.
If convicted, the 24-year-old "Mean Girls" star could be sent to prison just as she struggles to end more than three years of court appearances, failed drug tests and brief spells in jail stemming from a 2007 drunk driving conviction.
Lohan's lawyer has said that the actress denies the allegations and will fight them in court.
Friends have said Lohan believed the necklace, which has been returned to police, was on loan.

They will go easy on her. The system will, I mean. Because the system has too many people in it. The Prosecutor may throw the book at her, and the Judge may sentence her to the max, but the jail will process in and out really quickly because they don’t have room for theft cases even recidivists. The jails are full of hard violent criminals, as they should be, and due to overcrowding the people convicted of lesser crimes get first shot at making room for new violent people.
This young woman is on the fast rack to an early and painful death. I only hope she doesn’t take some innocent person with her.
You may well be right about the Banksters et al.....but this thread is about Ms Lohan.
I smell an ignorant liberal.
