娱乐英语新闻:U.S. actress Lindsay Lohan accused of necklace theft

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Troubled U.S. actress Lindsay Lohan was accused of stealing a 2,500-dollar necklace from a Southern California jewelry store and she is likely to face the law again, media outlets reported Wednesday.

Lohan, 24, tried the necklace on in a high-end jewelry store shortly before it went missing, the Los Angeles Times reported. Investigators have the video of the starlet wearing the missing piece of jewelry inside the store, they told a Los Angeles court.

The investigators obtained a warrant to search Lohan's Venice residence. Before they could be able to serve the warrant, one of Lohan's aides turned it in to police.

Lohan denied any wrongdoings, claiming that the person filing the complaint was "nuts," gossip website TMZ.com reported.

The actress, who has been on probation for her conviction for drunk driving, is already under investigation for allegedly assaulting a worker of the Betty Ford rehab clinic where she received three-month court-ordered treatment. She was only released early last month.

The "Mean Girls" star is slated to appear back in court on February 25.
