Woman Accused of Stealing from Paris Hilton Wears a Necklace Stolen from Lindsay Lohan to Court
A woman accused of breaking into Paris Hilton home was charged on Thursday with additional counts after she appeared in court wearing a necklace stolen from Lindsay Lohan. Courtney Leigh Ames, 19, was charged with two counts of receiving stolen property.
The amended complaint accuses Ames of wearing a necklace stolen from Lohan's home to a court hearing in December, where she pleaded not guilty to burglarizing Hilton's home. Ames attorney Robert Schwartz said:
"She was wearing a necklace. The issue is whether she knew it was stolen."
While Ames has been charged with receiving stolen property, she has not been charged with the August break-in at LiLo's home.
Prosecutors also claim that Ames received a leather jacket belonging to Paris.
Ames is one of sic people that stand accused of being a part of a theft ring that targeted celebrities' homes and stole high-end fashion and jewelry. Other victims of the burglaries include Orlando Bloom, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Audrina Partidge, Megan Fox, Rachel Bilson, and Ashley Tisdale.
Diana Tamayo, another of the six accused thieves, also got added a receiving stolen property charge. She is suspected of receiving Chanel makeup from Bilson's home.
At a brief hearing, both Tamayo and Ames pleaded not guilty to the new charges. They are due back at court on February 10.

Even if she didn't know it was stolen, where did she think it came from? She and all her friends are thieves...did she really think it came from a store?

Poor girl. She doesn't look like a thief to me... But if she really did it, then she should be put behind bars.
