KTLA news anchor and 1994 Miss USA pageant winner Lu Parker will
avoid criminal charges by participating in a diversion program
after her arrest last month on suspicion of stealing headphones
at a TSA security screening area at Los Angeles International
Airport, according to city prosecutors.

Police followed her onto the plane after she had boarded and
arrested her before the aircraft left the gate.

“If successfully completed, no criminal charges will be filed,”
Frank Mateljan with the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office said.
“Specific details about participation and outcome are
confidential.”

Parker, whose legal name is Frances Louise Parker, was taken
into custody Nov. 2 at a Transportation Security Administration
screening area in Terminal 6, according to Airport Police
Officer Rob Pedregon. She was taken to the Los Angeles Police
Department Pacific Station to be booked on suspicion of petty
theft, he said.

According to TMZ.com, Parker allegedly took a pair of headphones
valued at $200 from the TSA screening area and then walked to
her gate and boarded her flight. The headphones were owned by an
LAPD Robbery-Homicide detective, according to TMZ, which
reported that Parker was taken off the plane by police before
the aircraft left the gate.

Parker, a 48-year-old midday news anchor on KTLA and former
girlfriend of then-Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, was
subsequently released.

In a statement to the Los Angeles Times, KTLA officials called
the situation a misunderstanding. According to the station,
Parker was en route to visit her ailing father and when she went
through TSA security, she noticed that someone had left a set of
earbud headphones behind.

“She picked them up intending to return them to the owner whom
she had been speaking with while in line to clear TSA,”
according to the station. Parker was unable to find the owner
and boarded her flight.

“We believe this is a misunderstanding, Lu is cooperating fully
with the authorities and we are confident she will be able to
clear this all up,” station officials said.
