US actress Amanda Bynes was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance, according to the police incident report released on Monday.

A California Highway Patrol officer stopped Bynes, 28, after she allegedly failed to stop at a red light and then stopped in the middle of an intersection in the Van Nuys neighbourhood of Los Angeles early Sunday, the report said. The former child star was said to be under the influence of an unidentified drug after being evaluated at a nearby police station, the California Highway Patrol said in the report.

Bynes was released from jail after posting a $15,000 bail.

The actress, who rose to fame as a child TV star on Nickelodeon and graduated to the big screen, publicly struggled with health issues in 2013.
