Oscar theft suspect pleads innocent LOS ANGELES (AP) — A trucking company employee pleaded innocent Tuesday to stealing 55 Oscar statuettes that later turned up in a trash bin. Roadway Express employee Lawrence Edward Ledent, 38, charged with grand theft, was ordered held in lieu of $20,000 bail. His attorney, Jay Jaffe, said outside court that Ledent was “a dupe in this matter” and did not steal the Oscars. Jaffe said he believes that police think there were at least live people involved in the theft. Another Roadway Express employ ee arrested in the case, Anthony Keith Hart, 38, was not charged because there was insufficient evidence, said Sandi Gibbons, a district attorney spokesperson. The Oscars were manufactured by a Chicago company at a cost of about $18,000 and were shipped on March 3. They arrived at Roadway Express’ warehouse in Bell, Calif., on March 8 and then disappeared. Fifty-two of the gold-plated stat- People in the News uettes were recovered last weekend by a man who was scavenging in a trash bin. Whereabouts of the other three Os cars remained unknown Tuesday, hut there were plenty of statuettes available for Sunday’s ceremony. Airport to be named for 'Peanuts’ artist SANTA ROSA, Calif.
