Bynes has dealt with mental health issues in recent years and her parents previously won conservatorship of their daughter, which has expired. Bynes was sentenced to three years’ probation in May 2013, stemming from a September 2012 incident in which she was pulled over while driving on a suspended license. Bynes’ license had been suspended following several alleged hit-and-run incidents, as well as an arrest on suspicion of DUI.
The actress has been attending design school in Orange County, according to the Los Angeles Times.
