On Wednesday, CelebNMusic247.com has learned that Amanda Bynes Shoplifting at Barney’s in New York over a hat.

 TMZ she was dancing and muttering about plastic surgery. Eventually she attempted to flee the store with a shirt stuffed between her arms. When an employee apprehended her and asked if she would be purchasing the shirt Bynes allegedly replied, “Do I really have to buy this?”

Earlier police were called to Barneys when she left the department store wearing a hat she hadn’t paid for, reports People.

“Police responded to a [petty larceny],” an NYPD official told the magazine. “Amanda Bynes placed a hat on her head and left the store. Security brought her back in and called the police, but the security decided to release her…She was gone when the NYPD arrived on the scene.”

“I was walking out of the store to get my handbag out of the car,” Bynes, 28, said. “I had been harassed by a man – a man and this woman were basically trying to take my picture inside the store, and so I asked them to stop taking it, but they wouldn’t … They were like paparazzi but undercover.”

Bynes alleges that one of the security guards knew she was leaving and would be back but that another guard didn’t know about it.

“I walked out of the store, and the sensor went off,” she says. “I didn’t realize I was wearing my cap. And the cap – I was purchasing it, and I was actually still shopping.”

She also confirmed that the store has banned her from shopping there. “I basically just had to leave,” she admitted. “They said, ‘Please, don’t shop at Barneys anymore.’ But oh well. It’s fine.”
