LOS
ANGELES — 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 misdemeanor 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.
D.A. has sought a sentencing enhancement because the actress refused to take either a breathalyzer or a blood test.
Bynes has not been charged with hit-and-run.
If convicted -- with the sentencing enhancement -- we're told Bynes faces a minimum of 48 hours in jail ... and a maximum of 6 months.
But because of jail overcrowding, it's unlikely Bynes will ever serve longer than a few hours.
