Lindsay Lohan was too "busy" to return the necklace she has been accused of stealing.
The troubled actress - who is currently on probation stemming from a driving under the influence conviction in 2007 - has been accused of taking a $2,500 necklace from upmarket Californian boutique Kamofie & Company and claimed she tried to bring it back to the store but did not have time.
According to a police report obtained by gossip website TMZ, Lindsay's assistant said: "Ms. Lohan was in possession of the necklace and wanted to give the necklace back to the store the day after she took it from the store, but she was very busy."
We intend to challenge the prosecution's case because the truth is, Ms. Lohan didn't steal anything.
Lindsay has pleaded guilty to felony grand theft over the incident, with friends insisting she was allowed to borrow the necklace, but the store later changed their mind after she failed to get them publicity.
While the 24-year-old star's team have been trying to agree a plea deal over the case - which counts as a breach of her probation - her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley believes the charge is unfair as she disputes the estimated value of the piece of jewellery.
Shawn said: "We intend to challenge the prosecution's case because the truth is, Ms. Lohan didn't steal anything. But even if she had, it seems to me that the appropriate charge, based on the fair market value of the goods, should have been petty theft and not grand theft.
"A $5 lump of coal with a $2,500 price tag is still a $5 lump of coal."
Lindsay must return to court on February 23.

The British beauty famously dropped weight to play the role of a nasty secretary in romantic comedy 'The Devil Wears Prada' and had to do it again for the movie, although she found it hard because she is such a food fan.
She told Style: "I love to cook and I love to eat. I make a great Thai green curry and a great roast chicken.
"I do it all the time. Obsessively. It relaxes me and I get zenned out. I go into a meditative state and I don't want anyone helping me."
"When I did 'The Adjustment Bureau' last year, I had to get really thin again and it was hell. I had to get ripped at the gym."

But Portman admits she's struggling to cope with all the sudden acclaim because she's been around for so long.
She tells the Los Angeles Times, "I made my first movie when I was 11. I'm an old hag. I guess it's pretty common with actors, to be doing this for 18 years, but it's extreme. "I feel like I'm on another planet or something right now.
It's not quite sinking in.
I feel really lucky.
It's something that's completely wonderful, and I have a very definite goal I'm working toward with that".

Singer Rihanna is being rumoured to be a bisexual after a Hollywood socialite made indirect claims in a book.
Model Tajah Burton's book "Low Down Dirty Shame" is yet to be published, but extracts have been leaked on the internet, sparking off the speculation.
Burton has revealed she had an affair with a singer from Barbados.
Rihanna, 22, was born on the Carribean island and admitted earlier that she is attracted to women, reports thesun.co.uk.
Though Burton is not ready to name the singer, she shared her experience.
"We had an amazing connection. We would order food in together, we watched TV together, we did all kinds of stuff. I listened to her music with her. Music is her life," said Burton.
"It became a sexual thing. It only lasted a couple of weeks because she was very busy and had a lot going on in her life and we had to be secretive. I would say she's bisexual. It was really exciting. It was unexpected and it was very fun. The sex was really good but there was more to it - we really had a connection. She inspired me and we helped uplift each other," she added.
Rihanna has not yet spoken about the claims, but in an earlier interview, she had said that everyone had the "ability to be attracted to both sexes". Once she even called actress Megan Fox "yummy".
