American actress Amanda Bynes appeared in court on Tuesday to face allegations of possessing marijuana and tossing a bong out of the window of her 36th-floor Manhattan apartment.
The former Nickelodeon child star arrived at
court dressed in black tank-top, sweatpants
and long blue wig. At her previous appearance
she wore a long-sleeved black shirt and a
disheveled platinum blonde wig.She has been charged with unlawful possession of marijuana, reckless endangerment and attempted tampering with physical evidence, according to court documents. All the alleged offenses are classified as misdemeanours rather than
felonies.
Bynes was silent during the proceedings as the
judge postponed the hearing. The actress, 27,
who has had several brushes with the law in
the past year and is on probation for driving on a suspended license in California, was ordered to return to court on September 26th.
New York police were called to Bynes' 47th
Street Midtown high-rise building on May 23rd after an employee there reported that
someone was smoking marijuana in the building's lobby. Police said they were then directed to Bynes' apartment, where the actress invited them in. Officers said they detected a strong
smell of marijuana in the apartment and
observed the bong – a tube-shaped water
pipe commonly used for smoking marijuana – in the apartment. It is alleged that Bynes then
grabbed the bong and threw it out the window
and the actress was taken into custody, according to police.
Bynes, who had her own TV comedy sketch
show on Nickelodeon at the age of 13, has
gained a strong Internet following for her
recent bizarre behaviour and statements on her Twitter social media account, which include calling the Obamas "ugly", striving to reach the weight of 100 lbs (45 kg) and her obsession with plastic surgery.
The actress has not appeared in a film since
2010′s "Easy A" and has appeared in court
over a slew of driving violations in the past
year, including drunk driving, and hit and run.
