Chinese-born actress Bai Ling arrested in LA for shoplifting
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES - Chinese actress Bai Ling has been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport and police accuse her of shoplifting two celebrity magazines and two packets of batteries.
Sgt. Jim Holcomb says Ling was taken into custody Wednesday. He said the items in question had a total value of $16.
The 41-year-old actress was detained by a store employee who summoned police. She was booked for investigation of misdemeanour shoplifting and released after agreeing to appear in court March 5.
An e-mail message sent to Ling's agent Thursday was not immediately returned.
Ling has appeared in such films as "The Crow" and "Anna and the King" and in the television series "Lost."
The day of her arrest, she posted a message on her blog with a photo of herself at the airport waiting for a delayed flight. She made no mention of her arrest, instead wondering whether people were "rushing in the cold wind to work" after the Chinese New Year.
"Life is a sad song sometime but still sings the beauty for their loved ones," she wrote.
