Amanda Bynes wears blue wig to court; facing charges for allegedly throwing bong from window Amanda Bynes arrives at Manhattan Criminal Court in New York City. Bynes is facing charges of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence and criminal possession of marijuana. AMANDA Bynes has arrived in court wearing a blue wig to face allegations that she tossed a marijuana bong from the window of her 36th floor Manhattan apartment. The former child star wore the long blue wig and false eyelashes, dressing down for the occasion with a tank top, loose black tracksuit pants and Air Jordan runners. The 27-year-old actress did not speak during the hearing that lasted mere minutes, but she drew a throng of photographers and television cameras as she entered and left the criminal court building in lower Manhattan. Neither she nor her attorney spoke to reporters outside court. She is charged with reckless endangerment and attempted tampering with physical evidence. Bynes was arrested May 23 after building officials at her midtown apartment called police to complain that she was rolling a joint and smoking pot in the lobby. Officers went to her apartment, where they said they saw heavy smoke and a bong sitting on the kitchen counter. They said she tossed the bong out the window in front of them, according to prosecutors. A day later, in her first court appearance, she wore a dishevelled blond wig. Former child star Amanda Bynes and attorney Gerald Shargel arrive at Manhattan Criminal Court. Bynes rose to fame starring in Nickelodeon's All That and The Amanda Show, and has also starred in several films, including 2010's Easy A and 2007's Hairspray. But she has been in the news more recently because of several scrapes with the law, bizarre public behaviour and Twitter rants against other celebrities. In a Twitter post after her first court appearance, she accused the officers who arrested her of sexual assault; police are looking into her claims. Bynes had no previous arrests in New York, but she was involved in several California cases. In December, she resolved a misdemeanour hit-and-run case after entering into a civil settlement with other drivers. She was charged last fall with driving on a suspended licence after it was temporarily taken away from her following two hit-and-run cases where she was accused of leaving the scene without providing proper information. She has also pleaded not guilty to drunken driving in a separate case. It's not clear how the New York case will affect the California cases. Manhattan prosecutors filed an affidavit from her building manager, Rudy Toro, corroborating police and prosecutors' account of the tale. Bynes' next court appearance was scheduled for Sept. She left court with her attorney, Gerald Shargel, wearing sunglasses into a waiting black Mercedes sedan.
