Amanda Bynes' marijuana possession case dismissed
Actress Amanda Bynes is celebrating after all the charges relating to her marijuana possession arrest last year (13) were dismissed.
The Hairspray star was charged with reckless endangerment, criminal possession of marijuana and tampering with evidence when New York City police raided her apartment in May, 2013.
During the incident, Bynes allegedly threw a bong out of the
window. She was taken to the city's Roosevelt Hospital to undergo a
psychiatric evaluation and then to a police station to be
processed.
In January (14), a judge ruled the case would be dismissed if the
28 year old agreed to get treatment and stay out of trouble for six
months, and on Monday (30Jun14), Bynes' lawyer appeared in
Manhattan Criminal Court to report the actress has complied with
the conditions of the judge's ruling, and the case was formally
dismissed and sealed.
This is the latest legal victory for Bynes - in April (14), her
driver's licence was reissued after it was suspended when she was
arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) and
hit-and-run charges in 2012.
The actress appears to have turned her life around following a
lengthy rehab stay last year (13).
