LOS ANGELES (AP) -- An attorney for actress Amanda Bynes has entered a not-guilty plea on her behalf in a driving under the influence case.

The actress did not attend the arraignment Wednesday in Beverly Hills. She was charged Tuesday, roughly two months after she was arrested after grazing a sheriff's patrol car.

The actress also directed a Twitter message at President Barack Obama asking him to fire the deputy who arrested her, writing she doesn't drink. After her arrest, the 26-year-old refused a test that would have determined if she was drunk or used drugs.

District Attorney's spokeswoman Jane Robison says a pretrial hearing is set for July 18.

Bynes is best known for her role in Nickelodeon's series "What I Like About You."

I met Amanda once. She used to seem more down-to-earth than most celebrities. Shame to see her turning out like a Lindsay Lohan type.

What an attention whore. Give her enough time and she'll be the next Mrs. Schon.

Wonderful how she twitters Obama for help. Silly rabbit voted for him and perhaps made a hansom contribution to his campaign in which now she's thinking he'd return the favor.
