The 27-year-old Hairspray star is currently being held on an involuntary 5150 psychiatric hold. Earlier this week, Amanda started a small fire on a random neighbor's driveway in Thousand Oaks, Calif. She will not be charged with a criminal offense, however, according to Capt. Don Aguilar of the Ventura County Sheriff's Office. "She's at a mental health facility now so we're out of the mix," he told MTV News on Wednesday, July 24.
