Amanda Bynes Arrested For DUI

Amanda Bynes was arrested for driving under the influence, multiple outlets have confirmed.

E! News first reported Bynes was arrested for DUI on Sunday morning at roughly 3:00 a.m. Police "determined she was under the influence of a controlled substance" and charged her with a misdemeanor.

Bynes allegedly stopped the Mercedes she was driving in the middle of an intersection on Van Nuys Boulevard in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley, according to TMZ.

She was held on $15,000 bail and released the same day from the Van Nuys, California, station.

A rep for the star was not immediately available for further comment.

The former Nickelodeon star was involuntarily hospitalized for a mental health evaluation last July after she started a fire in the driveway of a California home. The incident came after a reckless endangerment arrest, car accidents, DUI arrests and increasingly erratic behavior.

She was placed on three years' probation in February stemming from a 2012 DUI charge.

Bynes completed a rehab stint and then enrolled part-time at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Orange County. In April, People magazine reported the 28-year-old had gotten her license back, but would "remain under her mother's legal control until at least September."
