Amanda Bynes flees scene of a crime

Actress Amanda Bynes faces legal action after fleeing the scene of a crime when she was pulled over for a traffic violation on Wednesday (07Mar12).

The Hairspray star was driving in Los Angeles when a cop spotted the 25 year old talking on her cell phone.

The officer approached the beauty's car, collected her information and returned to his vehicle to write up the citation, but Bynes bailed before he could give her a ticket.

Law enforcement officials decided not to pursue the actress as she wasn't deemed a threat to society and Bynes later stopped by a police station to pick up her citation.

But, according to TMZ.com, the Easy A star still faces potential legal action for prematurely leaving the scene.
