Robert Ouriel -- the guy accused of robbing the actress famous for playing
Catwoman -- just pled not guilty to grand theft.
Ouriel was recently arrested for allegedly stealing $25,000 worth of jewelry from
Julie Newmar back
in 2008.
The case was busted wide open when Newmar -- a crime fighter in her own right -- saw the stolen items on eBay and notified police ... who were able to track them back to Ouriel.
If convicted, Ouriel -- a former acquaintance of Newmar -- faces up to 3 years in prison.
Catwoman is now a crime fighter ... or at least the woman who played Catwoman is.
Cops apprehended a man suspected of stealing $25,000 worth of jewelry from
Julie Newmar's home back in 2008 -- and authorities say the actress is responsible for cracking the case.
According to law enforcement sources, 76-year-old Newmar -- who played Catwoman on the old "
Batman"
TV show -- was trolling through the Internet recently, when she "discovered the items for sale on Ebay."
Authorities say they were able to track the items back to a man named
Robert Ouriel -- a former acquaintance of Newmar. Ouriel was eventually arrested and charged with grand theft -- if convicted he faces up to 3 years in prison.
The lesson: You mess with the kitty, you get the claws.
Holy time warp,
Batman!
