Amanda Bynes Arrested On DUI Charge In California

The 28-year-old Nickelodeon star Amanda Bynes was arrested on Sunday morning at 3 a.m. for DUI, the California Highway Patrol confirmed E!News. Amanda faced a misdemeanor charge of driving under the influence of a drug according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

The star was arrested after police "determined she was under the influence of a controlled substance" while driving. The former Nickelodeon star was held at the Van Nuys, Calif., station on $15,000 bail before she was released at 12:44 p.m. that same day, reports E! News.

Her next court appearance is scheduled for Oct. 23. According to the CHP, officers first saw a white Mercedes Benz GL 450 stop in the middle of the intersection at Van Nuys Boulevard and Riverside Drive for a red light around 3:45 a.m. Officers pulled the SUV over, and Bynes appeared to be under the influence, the CHP said.

Amanda was off news for a long time after her antics last year. She in fact went for a rehab program as well following which she moved in with her parents. However, the DUI arrest has brought her back to news.
