Actress Winona Ryder pleads innocent to four felony charges

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Actress Winona Ryder pleaded innocent Tuesday to four felony counts of theft, burglary, vandalism and possession of a controlled substance, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said.

Ryder was arrested Dec. 12 for allegedly stealing about $4,800 in clothing from Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. Police said she also possessed the painkiller Oxycodone without a prescription.

The 30-year-old actress faces up to three years and eight months in prison if convicted, but could also be sentenced to probation.

Ryder remains free on $20,000 bond. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for March 11.

Beverly Hills police said store security officers saw Ryder remove security tags from several items, place them in her bag and leave the store.
