Winona's Arrest A Misundertanding


Actress WINONA RYDER's arrest for shoplifting last night (13th December 2001) was a "misunderstanding" her lawyer claims. The beauty, 30, was charged with stealing clothes worth $5,000 (£3,571) and possessing painkillers without a prescription after she was stopped in the SAKS FIFTH AVENUE department store in Beverly Hills.

The star's attorney Mark Geragos said his client has paid for the goods and he believed she could produce receipts. The Oscar-nominated actress was released from police custody on $20,000 (£14,286) and is due in court on 11 January (01). (ES/WNE/BRC)
