OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) - OCEANSIDE, Calif. (AP) - A San Diego County man has pleaded not guilty to stealing some 3,500 Pillow Pets from an Oceanside warehouse. The North County Times (http://bit.ly/Ngv8G3 ) says 42-year-old Danny Ray Wright of Carlsbad entered the pleas Tuesday to grand theft and burglary. Prosecutors contend that Wright stole $84,000 worth of the animal-shaped pillows and may have sold some on eBay. Authorities say he was an independent contractor who was allowed to sell some pillows but never paid the company. Prosecutors contend that beginning in January, he pilfered Pillow Pets by sneaking them out of the warehouse. He's free on bail and could face four years and eight months in prison if convicted. ---
