Los Angeles ( CNN ) -- Lindsay Lohan will consider a plea deal on the charge that she stole a necklace from a jewelry store if she can avoid going to jail , her lawyer said Thursday . Attorney Shawn Chapman Holley insisted , though , that the grand theft charge is `` entirely defensible . '' The actress entered a not guilty plea in the case Wednesday before Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz , but the judge immediately revoked her probation related to a 2007 drunk driving conviction . `` Ms. Lohan maintains her innocence , and now that I 've seen the police reports , I believe the case is entirely defensible , '' Holley said . `` Having said that , we will entertain a discussion concerning a plea if it means no jail so that she can move forward with her recovery and her career . '' Lohan was allowed to post bond on the theft charge and the probation revocation after a short hearing Wednesday . Schwartz will hold a hearing February 23 to decide if the theft charge warrants sending Lohan back to jail immediately on a probation violation . The court date will also be used to consider a possible negotiated resolution to the theft charge , he said . At the arraignment Wednesday , Schwartz warned Lohan that she could be put back in jail if she violates the law . `` Please do n't push your luck , I am telling you , '' the judge said . `` Things will be different . '' The theft charge filed Wednesday comes five weeks after the actress was released from court-ordered drug rehabilitation and less than three weeks before a judge said he might free her from supervised probation from the drunken driving conviction . Lohan was smiling at times as she sat at the defense table before the arraignment . She wore a tight-fitting white dress , with her long blond hair loosely tied in the back . Lohan wore what appeared to be several diamond bracelets on her right arm , complemented by diamond earrings and a large diamond-filled ring on her right hand . The 24-year-old actress allegedly walked out of the Venice , California , store with the necklace on January 22 , a statement from the district attorney 's office said . `` The owner reported the theft to the Los Angeles Police Department , which investigated the allegation and presented evidence to the D.A . 's office last week . '' The necklace was handed over to police just before they were to execute a search warrant to look for the jewelry in Lohan 's Venice apartment last week , police said . Under California 's grand theft law , prosecutor Danette Meyers must prove that Lohan intended to steal the jewelry and that she carried it away from the store . The penalty for a felony grand theft conviction ranges from 16 months to three years in a California state prison , varying based on the value of the property stolen and the criminal record of the defendant . Shoplifting offenses are charged as petty theft if the property taken is valued at less than $ 950 . The store owner claims the `` one of a kind '' necklace is worth $ 2,500 , police said . The judge could reduce the charge to a misdemeanor , which would carry a prison sentence of no more than one year . Lohan is on supervised probation for a drunken driving conviction . The judge overseeing that case told her in October that he would send her to jail for 180 days if she violated her probation rules before her next court appearance , set for February 25 . That court date is now off , with Judge Schwartz taking over Lohan 's legal cases . She left the Betty Ford clinic a month ago after three months in a drug rehabilitation program . The rehab stint persuaded the judge not to send Lohan to jail for failing a drug test .
The theft charge is `` entirely defensible , '' Lohan 's lawyer says . A judge will decide February 23 if the actress goes to jail . TL;DR Lindsay Lohan's attorney has filed a motion asking for probation in her case.
