NEW YORK (Reuters) - Actress Natasha Lyonne, 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.

"And I'll get your little dog too."

I remember her from some movie where she played a live in niece screwing the uncle. Classy chick.

I wouldn't hit it.

Maybe with a rolled-up newspaper, Laz?

In 1999, she played a lesbian cheerleader, at a rehab camp for teen homosexuals, in a movie called But I'm a Cheerleader.

In 2000, she was in the abortion propaganda piece, If These Walls Could Talk 2 [sequel to the original "If These Walls Could Talk"].

In other words, just your typical left-wing hollywood/NYC girl-next-door evil witch.

Poor kid - something is seriously wrong with her.

I remember her most from Pee-Wee's Playhouse and Slums of Beverly Hills

She can act a little - I would have predicted a long career as a character actress, but questionable now.

LOL!!! I'd imagine the only way someone would "hit" that would be with the rolled up newspaper!

Yah. I talk that way, uh-huh. "I'm going to sexually molest your (fill in the blank)."

Wouldn't she have said, "I'm going to f*ck your dog!"???

Good grief!

I wouldn't hit it.

I agree with you. In my professional opinion I think the goods are bad. I am beginning to wonder about Tara Connor, the former Miss USA also.

"Bitch set me up."

...well, somebody had to say it...

[grey_whiskers]

"Gratuitous Beaver Shot," huh?

Well, given the topic of this thread, I'll see you and raise you one with a more appropriate photo:
