Amanda Bynes Arrested For DUI In West Hollywood After Hitting Police Car

Amanda Bynes was arrested this morning on suspicion of DUI in West Hollywood after she allegedly hit the rear corner of a sheriff’s cruiser while trying to pass it.

The “She’s the Man” actress and former Nickelodeon star was in custody at the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station, L.A. Now reported, before being released around 10:30 a.m. on $5,000 bail. She was arrested near the intersection of Robertson and Santa Monica boulevards.

Bynes has been hitting the Hollywood party scene recently, according to TMZ, which had late-night St. Patrick’s Day footage taken outside a club where the photographer cautioned the valet against letting her drive — a caution that was ignored as the actress left in her Range Rover with a friend.

Bynes retired from acting for a whole month in the summer of 2010, only to announce her return via Twitter a bit ahead of the release of “Easy A,” which she appeared in with Emma Stone. That September 2010 release is still her most recent.
