Trial Date to Be Set in Amanda Bynes Weho DUI Case

Bynes is charged with a misdemeanor DUI count stemming from an arrest in West Hollywood.

A trial date was scheduled to be set Thursday morning for actress Amanda Bynes, who is charged with a misdemeanor DUI count stemming from her April 2012 arrest in West Hollywood.

Bynes was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving after her black BMW hit a sheriff's patrol car at the intersection of Robertson and Santa Monica boulevards.

The sheriff's patrol car was stopped while northbound on Robertson Boulevard, preparing to turn right onto Santa Monica Boulevard, when "Bynes attempted to pass to the right of the radio car," Lt. William Nash, of the sheriff's West Hollywood station, previously told Patch.

"Bynes' car allegedly collided with the right rear quarter panel of the radio car," Nash said. "There was minor paint transfer damage to both vehicles."

No one was injured.
