By Daily Mail Reporter, 24 May 2013
Amanda Bynes was taken away by police in handcuffs after being arrested for reckless endangerment after allegedly throwing a foot-long bong out of the window of her 36th floor New York apartment.

The incident came after police arrived to speak to the troubled actress about her alleged marijuana use on Thursday night.

She was then taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation before being booked at the police station for criminal of possession of marijuana, reckless endangerment and tampering with evidence.... click "Read More" below to continue....

Sources told NBC News in New York that police were called on Thursday night by the doorman, who reported Bynes was smoking marijuana in the lobby of her building on West 47th Street.

Officers responding to the call went to Bynes' apartment where sources said they noted a 'heavy smell of marijuana and smoke'.

The officers were allowed inside by the actress and when they noticed a bong - a device used to smoke marijuana - Bynes allegedly threw it out of the high-rise window in full view of the policemen.

Her actions led to the further charges - under New York state law, reckless endangerment occurs when a person creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person.

Nobody was injured by the falling bong.

Following her treatment at Roosevelt Hospital, Bynes was taken to a Midtown police station where she is expected to spend the night before a Friday court appearance.

Bynes was photographed in police custody on Thursday night as an officer escorted her out of a police station.

The actress was wearing her platinum blonde hair extensions and a black Versace sweatshirt.

The former Nickelodeon star has been exhibiting erratic behaviour of late with some eyebrow-raising public outings and online postings.

Two men who claimed they attended an impromptu house party at Bynes' Manhattan apartment last month said they witnessed Bynes smoking marijuana atop a bare mattress in her bedroom.

The men told In Touch magazine in an article this week that Bynes' home was filthy and filled with marijuana, presenting photos to back up their claims.

The men said that Bynes' home was virtually unfurnished and windows were spray painted black.

Bynes jumped to her own defense on Wednesday night on Twitter. She posted a tweet saying: 'That’s not my bed! Those aren’t my toes! My toes are pedicured!'

In another strange incident, TMZ reported on Thursday that Bynes was stopped from boarding a private jet last weekend for not having correct identification.

Since her driver's license has been suspended and she had no other form of ID, the actress told the pilot to search her name on Google to prove her identity.

The pilot checked with the jet company, but they were adamant that no special treatment be given and Bynes was not allowed on the flight.

Her bizarre antics commenced with her retirement from acting and move last year to New York.

The 27-year-old is regularly on Twitter and has sent out some concerning tweets in which she asked Drake to 'murder her vagina' and posed topless while complaining about her weight.

The All That actress was arrested in April 2012 in West Hollywood, California on driving under the influence of alcohol after the black BMW she was driving struck a Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department patrol vehicle.

Bynes also has been on probation for driving on a suspended license related to an incident in Burbank, California in 2012 in which her car was impounded.

TMZ reported earlier this year Amanda was evicted from her apartment for being a 'building nuisance,' as neighbours complained about smelling marijuana smoke from her abode.

The Easy A actress moved to the Big Apple to become a fashion designer last year, but the fruits of her labour have yet to surface.

She also didn't have much luck with her 2007 clothing line, Dear, after retailer Steve & Barry's filed for bankruptcy.

Bynes' parents 'deeply concerned' for actress
By Anthony McCartney The Associated Press, July 26, 2013 Updated: July 27, 2013
OXNARD, Calif. – Amanda Bynes’ parents are deeply concerned that their daughter may hurt herself or others unless they are allowed to assume control over her medical care and finances, court filings show.

The petition Richard and Lynn Bynes filed Friday not only detail her public incidents of disturbing behaviour, including several arrests, but also reveal that the former child star has stated fears that she is being watched by smoke detectors and devices in the dashboard of her car.

Ventura County Superior Court Judge Glen M. Reiser delayed ruling on the conservatorship petition, stating that there was no rush to act because the actress is under a two-week psychiatric hold at a hospital.

Reiser scheduled a hearing on the issue Aug. 9 and said he also wants to meet one-on-one with Bynes before making a decision.

“We are deeply concerned that Amanda poses a substantial risk to herself, to others, and to property based on recent events in her life,” the filing from Bynes’ parents states. It cites numerous instances of increasingly bizarre behaviour by their 27-year-old daughter in the past year.

Bynes was put under the psychiatric hold Monday after authorities said she set a fire on the driveway of a home in the Los Angeles suburb of Thousand Oaks, where she grew up.

Her parents learned she had returned to California from New York City two days before the incident. Their daughter told them she “cabbed it” but they say they do not know how she actually travelled cross-country or where she has been staying.

“We believe she is essentially homeless,” the filing states.

In May, Bynes was arrested in New York for allegedly throwing a marijuana bong out the window of her 36th-floor Manhattan apartment. Police had come to the building to investigate a complaint that she had been smoking marijuana in the lobby.

Last year, Bynes was charged in Los Angeles with driving on a suspended license. The license had been suspended after she was charged with driving under the influence and misdemeanour hit-and-run.

Before moving to New York, Bynes “was extremely paranoid about being ‘watched,’” the filing states. “She would cover smoke alarms with towels, tape windows shut, and cover her car’s dashboard with cardboard and tape out of fear that cameras were watching her from inside these places.”

Bynes, who was 13 when she landed her own hit variety program, “The Amanda Show” on the Nickelodeon cable network, went on to star in the TV series “What I Like About You” and several movies, including “What a Girl Wants,” ”Hairspray” and “She’s the Man.”

She has publicly stated that has retired from acting. Her last film credit was 2010′s “Easy A,” which starred Emma Stone.

Bynes amassed $4 million in savings but has spent $1.2 million in a short amount of time, her parents’ petition states. They state they suspect some of the money has been spent on drugs and plastic surgery, citing bills they have received from doctors and large payments their daughter has made to people they don’t know.

“Amanda has profound issues with her body image and is obsessed with the idea that she (and others) are ‘ugly,’” the petition states, adding that some of the statements have been made about members of her own family.

“She talks incessantly about cosmetic surgeries that she wants to have completed,” the filings state. “We are concerned that the surgeries she wants to have are dangerous and detrimental to her health.”
