Amanda Bynes was cited Sunday morning for driving with a suspended driver license, and her car was impounded, police officials said. Bob Hope Airport police spokesman Victor Gill said Bynes was pulled over at 8:20 a.m. She was not detained and no details were available about why officers made the traffic stop. Bynes' driver's license was suspended after authorities filed two hit-and-run charges against the actress earlier this month. In addition to the hit-and-run charges, she is also facing a trial on a charge of driving under the influence.

Police officials and other employees at Bob Hope Airport on Tuesday donated a combined $2,125 to a 6-year-old girl who -- having been diagnosed with a form of pediatric kidney cancer -- has been raising funds for cancer research. It all started with a goal to raise $300 at her lemonade stand. But as word of Aleyna Doche's campaign spread, the money poured in. On the first day, she raised more than $1,500 alone. Since then, Aleyna's little lemonade stand has grown into quite the fundraising operation.

Seeking to capitalize on the lengthy construction projects on the San Diego (405) Freeway and Los Angeles International Airport, officials at Bob Hope Airport will soon launch a $150,000 marketing campaign touting the regional airfield's convenience. Bob Hope Airport officials hope the campaign will help turnaround a months-long decline in parking revenues and passenger numbers, even as LAX continues to post gains. They're also banking on the recent publicity Bob Hope received for being the country's least-expensive airport to use, according to cheapflights.com.

About 25 residents attended a workshop at Bob Hope Airport on Thursday, many of them complaining that they don't qualify for a program to soundproof their homes despite the intrusions of aircraft noise. The workshop was designed to get public input as part of an update to a study looking at the impact of aircraft noise on areas surrounding the airport. One of the main reasons the airfield is conducting the study is to continue receiving federal funding for its residential sound insulation program.

A North Hollywood man this week became just the second person to plead guilty under a new federal law that makes it a crime to point a laser beam at an aircraft -- in this case, a jet and police helicopter near Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, officials announced Tuesday.

A U.S. District Court judge has accepted a third amended complaint from a woman who got into a tussle with security officials at Bob Hope Airport when they wouldn't allow her to bring applesauce and other snacks onboard a flight in 2009. Nadine Hays, a Camarillo resident, claims she was taken into custody after the April 2009 incident based on a falsified citizen's arrest form and tampered evidence. U.S. District Court Judge Patrick Walsh said several defendants who have been served, including some airport employees, must now respond to allegations in Hays' complaint - or enter a plea - by March 1. The defendants include Tesia Tettah, the Transportation Security Administration employee with whom Hays allegedly got into a tug-of-war.

The operations at Bob Hope Airport are expected to improve over the next 20 years, but not to pre-recession levels, according to a forecast released this week. Bob Hope Airport has been bleeding passengers since the economic recession began in 2007, with the number of people with board passes dropping by about 3% last year, according to the report by Coffman Associates. “As we're looking now, we're seeing that trend start to reverse itself,” he said. But even as the economy starts to recover, the airport is only expected to see a 2.6% improvement in the number of passengers over the next 20 years, Fitz said.

The Transportation Security Administration has halted a “long-standing” arrangement with Bob Hope Airport police when investigating unattended bags, raising safety and security concerns among officials at the airfield. In an April 19 email to his officers, the airport's police chief, Ed Skvarna, said TSA no longer will test swabs taken of unattended bags in the public areas of the terminal. That means Los Angeles County sheriff's bomb squad agents would have to be called in, creating a delay in determining if a bag contains explosive material.

Bob Hope Airport officials on Monday allocated nearly $1 million more to soundproof residences within earshot of the airfield's flight paths in an ongoing effort to reduce the impact of aircraft noise.

The average cost will be $32,094 per home, according to a report on the project. Five of the residences are in Burbank, eight are located in North Hollywood and 17 are in Sun Valley.
