After a series of reports of strange and concerning behavior taking place in New York City, Amanda Bynes was placed in an involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold in a Los Angeles area hospital.
TMZ has now learned how the plan was put in place to get Amanda help, and that story is equally as surprising.
Amanda Bynes has been arrested for a DUI and was charged with a misdemeanor after cops "determined she was under the influence of a controlled substance" while she was driving.
On the heels of Amanda Bynes' lawyer's statement clearing up rumors about the starlet's mental health, Bynes' mother Lynne is now speaking out about her daughter's condition, saying she has "no mental illness whatsoever" and that marijuana was the cause of her erratic behavior.
