London, Feb 9 (IANS) Actress Lindsay Lohan will be charged with stealing a necklace worth $2,500, Los Angeles county district attorney officials have confirmed.

Lohan was earlier supposed to be charged on Monday, reports contactmusic.com.

The owner of a store in Venice, California, has accused Lohan of stealing ‘one of a kind necklace’ worth $2,500 last month. An associate of the actress handed over the alleged stolen item to police as the authorities were preparing to raid the star’s home last week.

Lohan, 24, is currently on supervised probation for a drunk driving conviction. If the judge overseeing her case rules she violated her probation by taking the necklace, the actress faces 180 days in jail.

The actress, however, maintains the jewellery item was loaned to her.
