Lindsay Lohan is to be charged with felony grand theft for allegedly stealing a $2,500 (GBP1,660) necklace from a Venice, California jewellery store.
According to TMZ.com, the Los Angeles County District Attorney is expected to file the case against the actress on Monday (07Feb11) following an investigation into the missing necklace, which was reportedly turned over to police by one of the star's associates last week (ends04Feb11).
Surveillance video from the store shows Lohan with the necklace in question on 22 January (11), and there are photos of her wearing what appears to be the same necklace a week later.
If convicted the Mean Girls star faces a return to prison - for a maximum of three years.
Sources tell the website, the actress plans to fight the charge. She maintains she took the jewellery item on loan.
