Amanda Bynes Arrested on Suspicion of Drunk Driving

Actress Amanda Bynes was arrested early Friday 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 incident occurred around 3 a.m., according to a West Hollywood Sheriff's report.

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,'' said Lt. William Nash of the sheriff's West Hollywood station.

"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.

An investigation was conducted at the scene and 26-year-old Bynes was subsequently arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and booked at West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station.

Bail initially had been set at $5,000, but Bynes was released on a citation late Friday morning without having to post bail, Nash said.
