- Bail has been set at $5,000, and she’s been placed on a “24-hour hold.” Earlier today, Amber’s brother said, “We were supposed to be having Christmas with my mom today, but plans have changed somewhat. Gary is supposed to bring Amber to the courthouse today. If need be, he will be the one posting bail as well. Amber is very nervous. She is waiting for her lawyer to call her back. The paparazzi are swarming her house.” Amber is facing three years in jail and fines of up to $10,000. [E!, Radar, TMZ]
