Amanda Bynes followed up her arrest Thursday night with a morning in court.

The 26-year-old actress could be seen entering a New York City courthouse on Friday wearing the same outfit she sported when she was taken into custody.

Bynes was subsequently arraigned and released on her own recognizance, despite prosecutors requesting she be held on $1,000 bail. She was charged with reckless endangerment in the second degree, attempted tampering with physical evidence and unlawful possession of marijuana.

It was shortly before 8 p.m. Thursday when police received a 911 call from the doorman at the Midtown building Bynes lives in to report that the troubled star was smoking pot there.

However, when officers arrived, Bynes had already gone back to her apartment.

The cops made their way up to her place and reportedly saw a bong inside after Bynes opened the door.

She, in turn, allegedly threw it out the window—from 36 stories up.

Meanwhile, Bynes' next court date is scheduled for July 9.
