Amanda Bynes has been arrested for reckless endangerment after throwing a foot-long b**g out of the window of her 36th floor New York apartment.

The incident came after police arrived to speak to Amanda Bynes about her alleged mar***ana use on Thursday night.

Amanda Bynes, 27, was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation then to a police station for booking for criminal of possession of mar***ana, reckless endangerment and tampering with evidence.

Sources told NBC News in New York that police were called by the doorman who reported Amanda Bynes was smoking mar***ana in the lobby of her building on West 47th Street.

Officers responding to the call went to Amanda Bynes’ apartment where sources said they noted a “heavy smell of mar***ana and smoke”.

The officers were allowed inside by Amanda Bynes and when they noticed a b**g – a device used to smoke mar***ana – she allegedly threw it out of the high-rise window in front of the officers.

This led to the further charges. Under New York state law, reckless endangerment occurs when a person creates a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person.

Nobody was injured by the falling b**g.

Following her treatment at Roosevelt Hospital, Amanda Bynes was taken to a Midtown police station where she is expected to spend the night before a Friday court appearance.

Amanda Bynes was photographed in police custody on Thursday night as an officer escorted her out of a police station.

The actress was wearing her platinum blonde hair extensions and a black Versace sweatshirt.

The former Nickelodeon star has been exhibiting erratic behavior of late with some eyebrow-raising public outings and online postings.

Amanda Bynes was also arrested in April 2012 in West Hollywood, California on drunken driving charges after the black BMW she was driving struck a black-and-white Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department patrol vehicle.

She has been on probation for driving on a suspended license related to an incident in Burbank, California in 2012 in which her car was impounded.

TMZ reported earlier this year Amanda Bynes was evicted from her apartment for being a “building nuisance”, as neighbors complained about smelling mar***ana smoke from her abode.

Amanda Bynes moved to the Big Apple to become a fashion designer last year, but the fruits of her labor have yet to surface.
