LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan’s attorney said Saturday that her client did not steal a $2,500 necklace and would fight any charges if they are filed.
The statement from attorney Shawn Chapman Holley was the first official word from the actress’ camp since police revealed they were investigating the troubled starlet for grand theft.
“We vehemently deny these allegations, and, if charges are filed, we will fight them in court, not in the press,” Holley said.
Kamofie & Co., a Venice, Calif., custom jewelry store, reported the necklace stolen Jan. 22, roughly three weeks after the actress was released from three months of court-ordered rehab at the Betty Ford Center.
Police obtained a search warrant Tuesday to try to retrieve the necklace from Lohan’s house, but the item was turned in to detectives before the warrant could be executed. The Associated Press
