Actress Amanda Bynes was arrested at her apartment here for possession of marijuana. She even threw the evidence out of the window, reports tmz.com.

She was arrested Thursday night.

A building official called police after spotting Bynes in the lobby with a joint, acting erratically and talking to herself, said law enforcement sources.

Bynes let the policemen in when they knocked at her door, and when the police saw the bong, she quickly tossed it out of the window.

Bynes, wearing a platinum blonde wig, was placed under arrest. She reportedly went ballistic, and yelled at the police, asking: "Don't you know who I am?"

She was booked for criminal possession of pot as well as reckless endangerment and felony tampering with evidence, as per the tmz.com report.

Law enforcement sources also revealed that the actress was briefly taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation and then taken to the station for booking.

She was then taken to the night court just before the clock struck midnight.
