Bai Ling Pleads Guilty to Disturbing the Peace
Originally posted 03/06/2008 12:00AM
Bai Ling pleaded guilty Wednesday to disturbing the peace in a case stemming from her arrest at LAX for stealing two Star magazines and a package of batteries, totaling $16.22.
Although she was formally charged with petty theft Monday, prosecutors agreed to let Bai plead to the alternative charge, said L.A. City Attorney rep Frank Mateljan.
The actress was ordered to pay a fine and penalties totaling $700.
"What happened was an innocent mistake on my part and I am confident that the truth will be told since I never had any intention of taking items without paying for them," she wrote on her Web site Monday.
Bai, 37, has appeared in The Crow and Anna and the King among other film and TV roles.

Bai Ling is grateful that she's only been charged with petty theft for stealing some items from an airport newsstand, and says the whole incident was an "innocent mistake."
"I am relieved that the prosecutor has decided not to file misdemeanor charges against me and to treat this matter as an infraction," she writes on her blog. "What happened was an innocent mistake on my part and I am confident that the truth will be told since I never had any intention of taking items without paying for them."
The actress was arrested last month for allegedly shoplifting $16 worth of celebrity magazines and a package of batteries from a terminal convenience store at Los Angeles Airport.
