As the troubled actress threatens to sue the police, the results of an internal investigation find "no evidence" to support her claim that she was groped by an officer. a statement is issued denying her claim that she was groped by an officer.
"Internal Affairs investigators have found no evidence to corroborate
Ms. Bynes' allegations," said a statement issued Tuesday. "To the
contrary, a credible civilian witness who was with the officers
throughout told investigators that none touched Ms. Bynes
inappropriately or otherwise engaged in misconduct at any time."
Two days after she was arrested and charged with reckless
endangerment, tampering with evidence and criminal possession of
marijuana, Bynes -- who allegedly threw a bong out a window in her
Manhattan apartment after her building's doorman alerted police that she
was smoking pot -- the 27-year-old actress took to Twitter to accuse an
officer of groping her.
"He lied and said I threw a bong out the window when I opened the
window for fresh air," Bynes wrote Saturday. "He slapped my vagina.
Sexual harassment. Big deal. I then called the cops on him. He
handcuffed me, which I resisted, quite unlike any of the reports
stated."
On Monday, Bynes tweeted that she planned to sue the police
department over the "mistaken arrest," ranting: "I'm suing NYPD for
illegally entering my apartment, lying about drugs on me and lying about
me tampering with non existent drug paraphernalia, then I'm suing for
being put into a mental hospital against my will, then locked up
overnight for coming home after a facial and working out with my trainer
like the good girl that I am."
Bynes, who is due back in court July 9 over the incident, also
claimed that she's "allergic to alcohol and drugs" and therefore doesn't
"partake in any of the above." She then closed her Twitter missive by
saying she's embarking on a music career, but it's unclear whether she
was joking.
"Look forward to seeing me in music videos!" she wrote. "I'm getting
in shape and getting a nose job! I'm looking forward to a long and
wonderful career as a singer/rapper!"
