The former child star was taken for a mental health evaluation after police officials felt she ‘met the criteria.’
Amanda Bynes was ‘detained and taken for a mental health evaluation' after supposedly setting fire to a stranger's driveway.
Amanda Bynes was forced to undergo a mental evaluation on Monday night, after the troubled starlet caused a commotion in a California residential neighborhood.
Ventura County fire officials responded to a phone call at 8:38pm, about a disturbance in a Thousand Oaks, Calif., neighborhood involving Bynes, 27, who authorities believe started a small fire at a stranger's residence.
Bynes allegedly set fire to a neighbor's driveway on July 22.
"The fire was in a driveway of a single family dwelling," Ventura County fire captain Scott Dettorre told the Daily News. "There wasn't anything in the report to indicate it was a large fire."
"We did respond with an engine company," he said, adding that Bynes was then taken into the care and custody of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department, after it was determined that the onetime actress didn't have any relationship to the homeowner.
