Amanda Bynes in leg shackles following her arrest for public endangerment

Amanda Bynes is facing public disgrace after appearing in court charged with public endangerment for allegedly throwing a pot b**g from her New York apartment’s window.

But even that may not be as humiliating for Amanda Bynes, 27, as being photographed in leg shackles following her arrest over the incident in New York on Thursday night.

The former actress was dragged along with her head bowed by a police officer as she was transported from the city’s Midtown North Police Precinct to the Manhattan Central Booking facility.

Amanda Bynes made sure her messy blonde wig covered her face as she was marched along by the strong arm of the law.

She looked far from the starlet her fans know and love in a pair of grey jogging trousers, pullover and slippers.

But it was far from the end of her journey, as she appeared in court yesterday, where she was charged with reckless endangerment.

Amanda Bynes is accused of throwing a mar***ana b**g out of her Manhattan apartment building, and in evidence presented to court it is alleged she told officers it was “just a vase”.

She was arrested after building officials at her midtown apartment called police to complain she was rolling a j***t and smoking ca***bis in the lobby.

Amanda Bynes was also charged with attempted tampering with evidence and unlawful possession of mar***ana, all misdemeanors.

However, her attorney Andrew Friedman told the court: “My client completely denies illegally throwing anything out of her window.”

Amanda Bynes also took to Twitter to claim her innocence, saying: “I only smoke tobacco I don’t drink or do d**gs. I’ve never had a bong in my life!

“I need to get another nose job after seeing my mugshot!”
