The Chinese actress Bai Ling was arrested Wednesday after allegedly shoplifting two celebrity magazines and two packets of batteries at Los Angeles International Airport.
The items had a total value of $16, said Sgt. Jim Holcomb of the airport’s police department.
The 41-year-old actress was detained by a store employee who summoned police, Holcomb said. She was booked for investigation of misdemeanor shoplifting and released after agreeing to appear in court on March 5.
An e-mail message seeking comment sent to Ling’s agent on Thursday was not immediately returned.
Ling has appeared in such films as “The Crow” and “Anna and the King” and in the television series “Lost.”
The day of her arrest, she posted a message on her blog with a photo of herself at the airport waiting for a delayed flight. She made no mention of her arrest, instead wondering whether people were “rushing in the cold wind to work” after the Chinese New Year.
“Life is a sad song sometime but still sings the beauty for their loved ones,” she wrote.

Actress Bai Ling, who worked with Jolie on two projects — Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Jolie’s documentary A Place in Time says that the two shared a “special attraction†during filming.
“I felt this energy between us, when we look at each other there’s an energy, an attraction,” Ling told Us Weekly at our Hot Hollywood party on September 26. “Her eyes transfer a sexual energy to me that makes her irresistible.”
Ling said that Jolie, 32, made her a promise while on the set of Sky Captain. She recalled: “Angelina said, ‘Next time we’ll play lovers.’”
So did the twosome get physical off-camera?
“We could have hooked up, but it just wasn’t the right time or place. But she told me, “My heart’s open to you.’”
Ling continued: “She is like me. She is totally open sexually.â€
The China native said that the last time she saw Jolie was at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
She added: “I’ve always thought Brad [Pitt] was the sexiest man on the planet. So now that Brad and Angelina are together, now maybe I could experience both at the same time!”
