Amanda Bynes placed on psychiatric hold
Toronto Sun ^ | July 23, 2013

Troubled actress Amanda Bynes has been placed on an emergency psychiatric hold following an incident in Thousand Oaks, California on Monday.

Police were called to the neighbourhood after the Easy A star allegedly tried to start a fire in a resident's driveway, where she was accused of trespassing.

She was questioned over the small blaze and cops decided to take her into custody to undergo an involuntary mental evaluation, also known as a 5150 hold, reports TMZ.com.

Captain Don Aguilar of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department tells the New York Daily News: "Deputies investigated the incident and determined that (Bynes) met the criteria of 5150 (California Welfare & Institutions Code).

"She was detained and taken for a mental health evaluation."

Patients held on a 5150 order can only be kept under surveillance for up to 72 hours.

Byne's latest detainment occurred just a day after she was spoken to by police officers after allegedly turning up drunk outside an old people's home in Thousand Oaks on Sunday.

The two incidents are the latest in a string of woes for the actress - she is facing a charge of driving under the influence after allegedly crashing her car into a police vehicle last year, and a further accusation of driving on a suspended licence several months later. She is also accused of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence and possessing marijuana after reportedly throwing a bong out of her apartment window during a police raid in May.

That’s amazing, but most certainly true.

I really thought she was cute. I’m really sad to see her go so publically nuts. She’s the type that got a little chubby but could’ve aged gracefully. And she’s still young. 27!!!

She looks like a late 40’s worn out stripper now. Good lord.

It’s a shame.

She was just minding her own business being wholesome All American Girl and a well balanced model citizen and one day she says that Barack and Michelle are ugly and the government sends her to be reprogrammed and a looney bin.

She used to have her own TV variety show. She was a precocious and highly intelligent child and teen.

More likely she is bi-polar.
