Winona Ryder Criminal Charges

This is the criminal complaint filed today (February1) charging actress Winona Ryder with four felonies stemming from her December 12 shoplifting bust at Saks Fifth Avenue in Beverly Hills. Ryder, 30, was hit with one count each of grand theft, burglary, vandalism, and possession of a controlled substance, which Los Angeles prosecutors identified as the painkiller Oxycodone. Investigators have charged that Ryder used a pair of scissors to cut the security tags off Saks merchandise worth more than $4000. She is scheduled to be arraigned on February 8. (5 pages)
