LOS ANGELES -Lindsay Lohan is due in court to face a new judge, and a new criminal charge, that could return the troubled starlet to jail rather than the big screen.
The Mean Girls star is due to be arraigned Wednesday afternoon on a felony grand theft charge that prosecutors say they will file over a $2,500 necklace reported stolen by an upscale jewelry store.
The charge is the latest ââ¬â and most serious ââ¬â legal problem for the actress, who remains on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case.
Police and prosecutors allege Lohan, 24, took the necklace from a store in the beachside community of Venice on Jan. 22, weeks after she was released from a rehab facility where she was also accused of misconduct.
Lohan's attorney has denied the actress stole the necklace.
We vehemently deny these allegations and, if charges are filed, we will fight them in court, not in the press, attorney Shawn Chapman Holley said in a statement Saturday. Holley did not respond to requests for comment Tuesday.
The former Disney star has struggled with the terms of her probation, and was sentenced to rehab twice and jail twice last year.
She is expected to be booked on the theft charge after her court appearance, but her continued freedom will be up to Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz, who will oversee Lohan's first appearance.
The judge will determine the actress' release conditions and whether she has violated the terms of her probation, which required her to obey all laws and submit to random drug and alcohol testing.
