Arrest warrant issued for American Pie actress

A New York judge issued an arrest warrant for American Pie actress Natasha Lyonne, who failed to appear for a court hearing after an incident when she was heard threatening to molest a neighbour's dog.

Lyonne, 26, is charged with criminal mischief, harassment and trespass after she allegedly banged on the door of a neighbour, stormed into the apartment and ripped a mirror from the wall.

Police said Lyonne told the neighbour: "I'm going to sexually molest your dog."
