Seek Drug, Psych Counseling For Winona

Prosecutors want a Los Angeles judge to sentence Winona Ryder to three years probation, direct the actress to pay fines and restitution in excess of $25,000, and order her to cooperate with probation officials in developing "a plan for both drug and psychiatric counseling," according to a new Los Angeles Superior Court filing. The below sentencing memorandum, filed yesterday (12/2) by deputy district attorney Ann Rundle, also asks Judge Elden Fox (who is scheduled to sentence Ryder this Friday) to order the actress to serve 480 hours of community service and to cease using aliases, specifically the handle "Emily Thompson." When the 31-year-old actress was arrested last December for shoplifting, Beverly Hills cops found Ryder carrying a remarkable array of painkillers (liquid Demerol, Percodan, Vicodin, Morphine Sulfate, etc.), some of which were prescribed to the Thompson alias. Prosecutors also want Ryder sentenced to a provision that would allow law enforcement officers to search "her person and property" at any time, "with or without a warrant or probable cause."
