Lindsay Lohan has pleaded “not guilty” to a felony grand-theft charge that she stole a $2,500 necklace from a Venice jewelry store.
After entering her plea Wednesday at the Airport Courthouse in L.A., Superior Court Judge Keith L. Schwartz warned her, “You’re in a different situation now that a felony has been filed against you. If you violate the law, I will remand you and set no bail and your attorney won’t be successful this time. … You need to follow the laws just like everybody else. … You’re no different than anyone else, so please don’t push your luck.”
If convicted, the actress, 24, could face up to three years in prison.
Her bail has been set at $20,000.
Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, has denied the necklace was stolen.
The actress, 24, will return to court on Feb. 23.
Lohan is currently on probation for a 2007 drunken driving case.
