Lindsay Lohan did not strike a deal with prosecutors who are preparing a case against her for felony grand theft of a designer diamond necklace, but a Los Angeles judge gave the actress more time to decide her plea, setting an interim court date of March 25. Prosecutors and Lohan’s lawyer can continue to work on a plea bargain in the meantime, but Lohan will need to be in court on March 25 if she intends to plead guilty or no contest and accept the parameters of the court’s offer. If she decides to plead not guilty, an April 22 court date has already been set that will hear the felony grand theft case, as well as charges that Lohan has violated conditions of her probation.

Lohan has denied stealing the necklace from a Venice, Calif., jewelry store. The court expects Lohan to inform it of her intentions by March 23.

Felicia “Snoop” Pearson, who played the drug-dealing murderer of the same name on HBO’s The Wire, was arrested this morning in Baltimore as part of a large-scale drug crack-down on heroin and marijuana, according to the Baltimore Sun. More than 30 people were arrested after a five-month investigation, police officials told the paper. Pearson has had previous run-ins with the law: she spent six and a half years in jail after a conviction for second-degree murder when she was only 14 years old.

Lindsay Lohan is not expected to accept a plea deal from prosecutors when she goes before a Los Angeles Court judge this morning, according to the AP. Lohan has pleaded not guilty to stealing a $2,500 necklace from a Venice, Calif., jewelry store on Jan. 22. On Feb. 23, the judge warned Lohan that any such plea agreement would result in her spending time in jail.

The necklace at the center of Lindsay Lohan’s most recent run-in with the law is going up for auction. Kamofie and Company, the Venice, Calif., jewelry store that accused Lindsay Lohan of theft, will put the designer diamond necklace up for auction and donate the proceeds to charity. “The extensive media coverage of this case has been surprising, to say the least, and we are disappointed and upset by the various articles which have challenged our integrity,” the store’s owners said in a press release. “We have already publicly released the videotape which speaks for itself and accurately records the incident, and we believe the next step toward achieving closure is to donate the now-famous jewelry to charity.”

“[Kamofie creator and designer] Sofia Kaman would rather the money go to help an appropriate charity, since at least that way some good can result from this incident,” reported Christopher Spencer, the company’s spokesman.

Any auction will have to wait until after the legal proceedings are completed, as the necklace is currently being held as evidence by the Los Angeles District Attorney.
