And tossing her bong out the window...

Amanda Bynes has been arrested in New York for marijuana possession. TMZ reports that Amanda was arrested after police showed up responding to a call about a disorderly person at her apartment building. Amanda was reportedly behaving erratically, such as talking to herself.

When the police showed up Amanda flipped out and began kicking and screaming as she was arrested, yelling "Don't you know who I am?"

Sources with law enforcement say she has been charged with criminal possession of marijuana, reckless endangerment and tampering with evidence. The latter two charges are because she allegedly threw a bong out of her apartment window; the evidence tampering charge is a felony.

Amanda Bynes Accuses Arresting Police Officer of Sexual Harassment
May 25, 2013

Amanda Bynes claims she was sexually harassed by one of the police officers who arrested her Thursday night.

Bynes was arrested in her Manhattan apartment Thursday night after she threw a bong out the window, according to the police. But the actress shared a very different version of events Saturday afternoon.

"Don't believe the reports about me being arrested. It's all lies," Bynes wrote. "I was sexually harassed by one of the cops the night before last which is who then arrested me. He lied and said I threw a bong out the window when I opened the window for fresh air. Hilarious. He slapped my vagina. Sexual harassment. Big deal."





The actress said that when she called police to report the offending officer, he handcuffed her and she resisted. Bynes doesn't deny that she was then taken to a mental hospital where she underwent a brief psychiatric evaluation.

"I kept asking for my lawyer but they wouldn't let me," she wrote.





Bynes added that the police "found no pot on me or bong outside my window" which is why a judge let her go.

"I only smoke tobacco I don't drink or do drugs. I've never had a bong in my life!" Bynes wrote hours after her release on Friday.



But Bynes' legal issues weren't the only things on her mind this weekend. The actress shared, "I need to get another nose job after seeing my mugshot!"

Bynes is due back in court July 9.

[Mr. Television]

What happened to her? She's cracked up.

[Blackout]

lol @ her never smoking weed


and smh @ cops with no better criminals to catch

[catlover79]

What's happened to her these past few months? Has she been hanging out with Lindsay Lohan?

[gidgetgrape]

She started off so normal. I thought she was going to skip over the troubled star stage.

[catlover79]

So did I. She seemed like she had her head on straight and her feet firmly on the ground. Such a shame.

I still remember her going on CNN or something and saying Lindsay was going to kill herself with all her partying. Now I'm starting to think Lindsay's going to outlive Amanda.

Police: Amanda Bynes Was Not Sexually Harassed
May 28, 2013

Police have found "no evidence" to support Amanda Bynes' claims that she was sexually harassed by an officer during her arrest last week, the New York Police Department said Tuesday.

"Internal Affairs investigators have found no evidence to corroborate Ms. Bynes' allegations," the NYPD said in a statement. "To the contrary, a credible civilian witness who was with the officers throughout told investigators that none touched Ms. Bynes inappropriately or otherwise engaged in misconduct at any time."



Last Thursday, Bynes was arrested after police said she threw a bong out her apartment window and was seen smoking a joint in the complex lobby. After her release the next morning, Bynes shared her version of the incident, which included an officer "slapping her vagina" and claims that the police fabricated the alleged bong-toss.

Bynes then shared her plans to sue both the NYPD "for illegally entering my apartment, lying about drugs on me and lying about me tampering with non-existent drug paraphernalia" and her apartment complex for lying about her smoking in the building.



Bynes, who's due in court July 9, faces charges of unlawful possession of marijuana, reckless endangerment and tampering with evidence.

What a mess.

i think its all an act - like the Joaquin Phoenix thing a few years back

seriously though, this weekend it was on the local news that the cops made a traffic stop and smelled marijuana so they searched the guy's car and found his rather substantial stash, which he then explained to the officers (and on the news) that it was OK because he wasn't gonna sell it, it was party favors for his Memorial Day BBQ, and they could come on over ifn they wanted...

That's what I'm hoping. I wasn't really aware of the Joaquin Phoenix experiment, but after watching his bizarre interview on Letterman, I'm starting to see the similarities. Besides the erratic behavior, Joaquin publicly "retired" and declared that he wanted to become a rapper. Both of which Amanda has done. I've been watching clips of Amanda on YouTube, and there was one video as recent as 2012 in which she acted 100% normal. It just doesn't make sense that in less than a year her personality has done a complete 180. With Lindsay Lohan, it was a much more gradual progression and Lohan's behavior wasn't even as extreme as Bynes', IMO. The only things that don't make sense are her extremely hateful tweets to celebrities and her illegal actions. Even if this is all a joke, those are still horrible things to say about people (unless the celebs are in on the joke too), and she's still getting arrested (unless the arrests were somehow staged). It is curious that her cases keep getting mysteriously dropped.

While I thought it was an act at first, I don't think it is anymore. I think she has serious mental issues. Why would she purposely get in trouble with the law all in the name of "an act?".

I honestly feel really bad for her. She obviously has some serious problems and the media certainly isn't helping things.

[catlover79]

I don't think it's an act, either. First of all, Joaquin Phoenix was an Oscar-nominated actor and still a highly visible figure when he pulled that "hoax". Amanda Bynes' career has been in limbo for some time. She hasn't had a hit (TV show or movie) in a long time. (She doesn't sing, does she)? She was held up as a teen role model for several years, and maybe all that pressure built up over time finally spilled over. Then again, that's just my guess.

I think Amanda's life really started sliding downhill when she turned 18 and gained cotrol ofher own money and her own life. I think when she no longer was under her parents supervision she didn't have the right support group around to help her make the transisition to independent adulthood.
