Beverly Hills, Calif. ? Winona Ryder was ordered Thursday to stand trial on charges alleging she shoplifted some $6,000 worth of merchandise from Saks Fifth Avenue and possessed a drug without a prescription.

A store security official testified during a preliminary hearing that she saw the actress cutting security sensor tags off the items. A criminalist testified that two pills found in Ryder’s possession were a generic form of Percoset, a prescription painkiller.

Actress Winona Ryder enters Los Angeles Superior Court in Beverly Hills, Calif. She returned to her preliminary hearing on shoplifting charges three days after an arm injury she suffered walking through a crowd of reporters. Ryder was ordered to stand trial Thursday.

Superior Court Judge Elden Fox said there was sufficient cause for her to be tried on charges of second-degree burglary, grand theft, vandalism and possession of a controlled substance.

Saks security official Colleen Rainey testified she looked through slats of a door and saw Ryder kneeling on the floor of a fitting room on Dec. 12, taking things out of shopping bags and putting them on the floor around her.

Asked by defense lawyer Mark Geragos if she recognized the movie star that day, Rainey said she told another employee she looked familiar “and I said I thought it was maybe Winona Ryder.”

But she added, “Her behavior was such and the way she was dressed she appeared to be a bit disheveled. I may have mentioned she looked homeless.”

Saks security official Kenneth Evans testified earlier that he had the same reaction when he first began watching her as a possible shoplifter.

Evans also said, however, that before leaving the store Ryder twice charged purchases that amounted to about $3,700.

Authorities initially alleged Ryder shoplifted about $4,800 worth of items but the value was later raised.

Ryder came to court Thursday with her right arm wrapped in an elastic bandage and a sling. Geragos said Ryder’s right arm broke at the elbow when she was hit from behind while walking through a crush of reporters Monday at the courthouse, causing a delay in the hearing.

Outside court, Geragos denounced Rainey’s testimony.

“That testimony was as close to full-blown perjury as I’ve seen in a courtroom,” Geragos said.
