   LOS ANGELES – Lu Parker, a local television news anchor in Los   
   Angeles and a former Miss USA, was arrested Wednesday at Los   
   Angeles International Airport on suspicion of stealing a pair of   
   earbud headphones belonging to an off-duty police detective,   
   authorities said.   
      
   Parker, 48, was taken into custody at about 7 a.m. in connection   
   with a theft at a Transportation Security Administration   
   screening area in Terminal 6, according to a statement by   
   Airport Police Officer Rob Pedregon.   
      
   She was booked at a police station on suspicion of petty theft   
   and later released.   
      
   The headphones’ owner is an off-duty Los Angeles police robbery-   
   homicide detective and she made the arrest as a private citizen,   
   Pedregon said.   
      
   The KTLA-TV anchor, whose full name is Frances Louise Parker,   
   took the earbuds at the security station and was arrested after   
   boarding a plane.   
      
   “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,” KTLA said in a statement.   
      
   Parker was traveling to visit her ill father and was in the   
   security line when she noticed that the earbuds had been left   
   behind, according to the statement.   
      
   “She picked them up intending to return them to the owner whom   
   she had been speaking with while in line to clear TSA,” KTLA   
   said in a statement.   
      
   However, she couldn’t find the owner and boarded her flight,   
   according to the station.   
      
   Parker is the 1994 winner of the Miss USA pageant and a one-time   
   girlfriend of former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa.
