"American Pie" actress turns herself in at NY court
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actress , the star of "American
Pie" accused of threatening to sexually molest a dog, turned herself in
at a New York court on Friday.
A bench warrant was issued for her
arrest in January after Lyonne, who has also appeared in "Blade," and
"Scary Movie 2," missed four court hearings.
The 27-year-old
faced a number of charges including criminal mischief, harassment and
trespassing after accusations she threatened to sexually molest her
former neighbor's dog and ripped a mirror off the wall during a 2004
argument.
At the Manhattan Criminal Court appearance, drug counselor Heather
Hayes said Lyonne had completed an in-patient drug program in February
and continued to attend outpatient rehabilitation groups.
Judge Anthony Ferrara said the charges would be dropped if the actress stayed out of trouble for the next six months.
In
the court complaint, Lyonne's former roommate claimed Lyonne trashed
their apartment and then banged on a neighbor's door, rushed into that
apartment and picked up her dog, telling the woman, "I'm going to
sexually molest your dog."
Lyonne pleaded guilty in 2002 to
driving under the influence of alcohol in Miami. She was fined,
sentenced to six months probation and 50 hours community service.
