'American Pie' actress Natasha Lyonne handed herself in to police on Friday (15.12.06) over criminal charges she incurred in 2004.
The former drug addict had been charged with criminal mischief, harassment and trespassing after she went berserk in her neighbour's home, allegedly tearing a mirror off her wall and threatening to sexually molest her dog.
Lyonne attended the Manhattan Criminal Court on Friday in the company of her drug counsellor Heather Hayes.
Hayes told Judge Anthony Ferrara the actress had completed an in-patient drug treatment program in February and continues to attend out-patient rehab.
Hayes said: "She's done excellently, very well."
As Lyonne had already completed her court-ordered treatment and has paid $2,000 in restitution, the judge ruled that all charges will be dropped if Lyonne can stay out of trouble for the next six months.
A warrant was issued for Lyonne's arrest in January this year after she missed her fourth court date for the dog offence.
The 27-year-old star - who played Jessica in the 'American Pie' films and once lived with 'Terminator 2' actor Edward Furlong - was left fighting for her life last year after contracting hepatitis C, a heart infection and suffering from a collapsed lung.
Lyonne went missing and was found last year in an intensive care unit in a New York hospital. She also received methadone treatment for heroin abuse after she was found to have track marks - needle holes caused by intravenous drug use - on her arms.
