Add Hallmark to the growing list of networks that will have to deal with one of its stars facing criminal charges.
Actress Lori Loughlin on Wednesday surrendered to the FBI after being indicted as part of an investigation into an alleged scam involving parents paying bribes to get their children into college. She wasn't home when agents arrived to arrest her on Tuesday, and ABC News reports that's because she was in Canada filming a movie for Hallmark.
