NEW YORK: Police say actress Amanda Bynes has been arrested in New York City after she threw a marijuana bong out of a window.

Police say an apartment building official called police on Thursday to complain that Bynes was smoking marijuana and rolling a joint in the lobby.

The officers went to Bynes' apartment, where they saw heavy smoke and a bong, which Bynes then threw out of the window in front of the officers.

Bynes was arrested on charges of reckless endangerment, tampering with evidence and criminal possession of marijuana. It wasn't clear if she had a lawyer.
