Chinese-born actor held for shoplifting


Chinese actor Bai Ling has been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport, and police accuse her of shoplifting two celebrity magazines and two packets of batteries from a shop there.Sgt Jim Holcomb said Ling was taken into custody on Wednesday. He said the items in question had a total value of $16. The 41-year-old actor was detained by a store employee who summoned police. She was booked for investigation of misdemeanor shoplifting and released after agreeing to appear in court on March 5. An e-mail message sent to Ling's agent yesterday 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.
