“She’s the Man” star Amanda Bynes has pleaded not guilty to her drunk driving case last April.
According to reports, the 26-year-old actress insists that she did not drive under the influence when the cops pulled her over on April. Amanda Bynes’ lawyer was not in court when her lawyer submitted the plea. She was charged with one count of misdemeanor DUI on Tuesday, and the D.A also sought enhancing her sentence because Amanda Bynes refused to take a blood test or breathalyzer to check her blood alcohol content.
If Bynes is convicted, together with her sentencing enhancement, she could get a minimum of 48 hours in prison, and a maximum of six months. A pretrial court for the actress’ drunk driving case has been set on the 18th of July.
It has been previously reported that the father of Amanda Bynes backed her up and told People magazine that his daughter does not drink. On the other hand, Amanda tweeted President Obama right after she was charged on Tuesday, writing, “@BarackObama… I don’t drink. Please fire the cop who arrested me. I also dont hit and run. The end.”
Amanda Bynes rose to fame as a child star on the hit Nickelodeon TV variety show, “All That,” which later led to her own series, “The Amanda Show” from 1999-2002. The actress also starred in films like “Hairspray” and “Easy A,” working with actors such as Colin Firth, Emma Stone and Harry Connick Jr. In 2010, Bynes announced to the media that she is retiring from acting at the age of 24, tweeting that she no longer loved it.

Amanda Bynes in another car accident
Bynes told police she was unaware that she had sideswiped the driver. She managed to escape citation and drove away after an official report was filed.
A spokesperson for the Los Angeles Police Department explains, "She wasn't given a citation, no one was arrested, no one was hurt. She didn't even know she was involved in an accident. We took a traffic collision report and there will be no further investigation."
Last month, Bynes was arrested for driving under the influence following a small collision with a police patrol car. A week later, she was caught backing over a curb outside a nightclub.

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. — Los Angeles prosecutors have charged actress Amanda Bynes with driving under the influence roughly two months after authorities say she grazed a sheriff’s patrol car in an early morning accident.
The 26-year-old will be arraigned Wednesday morning in Beverly Hills but doesn’t have to attend the hearing. Instead, she can have a lawyer enter a plea.
Bynes was arrested April 6 after authorities say she scraped a patrol car making a turn.
The misdemeanour complaint filed Tuesday alleges she refused to take a test at the time that could’ve determined whether she was drunk or under the influence of drugs. Because of her refusal, authorities may suspend her driver’s license for a year.
Her publicist, Melissa Raubvogel, didn’t immediately return an email.
Bynes appeared in the Nickelodeon series What I Like About You and the film Easy A.

Amanda Bynes' father has angrily denied his daughter was under the influence on the night she arrested on suspicion of drink driving.
Rick Bynes claims his fomer Nickelodeon star daughter had not had a drop of alcohol when she was pulled over after allegedly passing a cop car and sideswiping the vehicle.
He told People.com: 'She was not drunk. I was told that she blew a zero on the breathalszer.
'She didn't have a single drink that night. My daughter doesn't drink.'
Rick claims it was police who were at
fault after pulling out in front of his 26-year-old daughter as she
turned at the West Hollywood intersection in the early hours of Friday
morning.
He says his daughter was arrested because she was 'upset and emotional'.
Amanda was at Los Angeles club Greystone Manor hours before her arrest.
Her father's defence comes amid fresh claims Amanda was turned away from The Standard Hotel on Friday night - just hours after she was released on $5,000 bail.
According to TMZ, the Easy A actress had also been drinking at the hotel's nightclub the evening before.
Having heard of the 3am drama on Friday morning, the hotel did not want to be associated with actress, according to the website.
Sources told TMZ Amanda and her friends left without causing a fuss.
According to her booking sheet, Bynes was arrested at 3am and taken to West Hollywood sheriff's station.
According to her booking sheet, Bynes is 5'7" and 125 lbs.
In her mugshot she is seen with pink hair and sporting heavy eye make-up.
Bynes shot to fame as a child star on All That and The Amanda Show on children's channel Nickelodeon.
Booked: The details of the incident were logged on the actress's arrest sheet
She later appeared on the big screen in several teen films including What a Girl Wants, Love Wrecked, She's the Man, Hairspray, Sydney White and most recently alongside Emma Stone in Easy A.
It's not the first time the actress has been in trouble with the law.
On March 7 the actress was pulled
over for allegedly talking on her phone before bolting from the scene
before the police finished issuing her a ticket.
She was not arrested - but later visited a police station to sign her ticket.
The day before, Bynes had tweeted: 'Live fast die young bad girls do it well!'
