Amanda Bynes was charged on Tuesday with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs -- then took her case directly to the White House.
"I don't drink," the actress, 26, said in a tweet to the Barack Obama presidential campaign. "Please fire the cop who arrested me."
Only someone who drinks could post that message.
The misdemeanor charge filed Tuesday relates to Bynes' April 6 arrest, when she was pulled over at 3 a.m. in West Hollywood after allegedly sideswiping a police car while trying to make a right turn in her BMW.
According to People.com, the criminal complaint also alleges that Bynes refused to complete a Breathalyzer or drug test.
She doesn't drink. She's just not a good test taker.
On Wednesday, Bynes' attorney entered a not guilty plea on her behalf. The actress was not required to appear in court.
If convicted she faces a maximum penalty as a first-time offender of 48 hours in jail, three years probation and a nine-month alcohol program. She could also lose her driver's license for a year.
About a week after her April arrest, she backed over a curb while texting, right before going to a West Hollywood nightclub, and a week later was spotted holding up traffic while making a slow three-point U-turn.
