Bynes, 26, was arrested and held at the West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station on $5,000 bail, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. She was able to post bail, KABC-TV has learned, but it was not immediately clear as of mid-day Friday whether the former Nickelodeon star was still behind bars.

Police confirmed the incident and subsequent arrest in a statement saying, “A Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy in a marked black and white radio car, was stopped at the intersection of … Robertson Boulevard and Santa Monica Boulevard preparing to turn right,” when “a black BMW driven by [actress] Amanda Bynes attempted to pass the right of the radio car, colliding with the right rear quarter panel of the radio car.”

Both vehicles sustained “minor paint damage,” the statement continued. “Amanda Bynes was subsequently arrested for driving under the influence and booked at West Hollywood Sheriff’s Station.” No one was injured, according to the sheriff’s department.

TMZ later released the Hairspray actresses mugshot that showed a glassy-eyed Bynes with pink hair.
