Published Thursday, Jun 10 2010, 04:16 BST | By Jennifer Still
Paula Deen's housekeeper Mary Alice White was arrested last month on theft charges after she was caught trying to pawn an $18,000 (£12,385) pair of earrings.
Police say that 47-year-old White stole dozens of items of jewellery from the celebrity chef while working in her Savannah, GA home, reports The AP.
Deen told authorities on May 3 that over $100,000 (£68,815) worth of men's and women's jewels had gone missing over the past year. Her husband also caught White in possession of one of the pieces.
White was fired from her position with the Deens, but denied that she stole any items from the home.
