: MONTECITO, Calif. (AP) — Heather Locklear was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance in the upscale Santa Barbara area, authorities said Sunday.
Locklear, 47, was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer Saturday afternoon after a resident reported seeing the actress leaving a parking lot and "driving erratically," patrol spokesman Tom Marshall said.
The officer noticed Locklear's car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane in Montecito, a wealthy community about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles. She was believed to be alone in the car, Marshall said.
"In talking with her, (the officer) determines that she seems to be under the influence of something," Marshall said.
Locklear was taken to the police station, where she was tested for alcohol and drugs. She was booked at 7 p.m. on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication. She was later released from custody.
Calls to Locklear's publicists were not immediately returned.
Locklear's TV credits include "T.J. Hooker," "Dynasty," "Melrose Place" and "Spin City," and her film roles include "The Perfect Man" and "Uptown Girls."
Locklear checked into a medical clinic in June to seek treatment for anxiety and depression.
Last year, she got a divorce from Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora after 11 years of marriage. They have a daughter, Ava Elizabeth.
This is what happens once Hollywood chews you up and spits you out. If all you have are looks and no brains and you hit the wall,life gets very hard to deal with for some. White women please lets start building our minds instead of our breast,butts and lips with fake enhancements. WE MUST DO BETTER! These men will use us and then spit us out for the next pretty young thing. From Tommy Lee to Richie Sambora to a prescription drugs and a vibrator. So sad and a prime example of the low standard in our society....while Oprah becomes richer,Dr. Condi Rice rides off into the sunset to do speaking engagements and collect millions and Michelle Obama marches into the white house. Who do we white women have to look up to .....Sarah Palin??
I love Heather. I think her best role was in Melrose Place! Long live MP!!! I hope she gets her life together.
Now on to grease slinging - how dare she be a spokesmodel for Loreal's Blonde Highlights (or whatever it is) and her roots are lookin bout as dark as midnight. Pull it together Ms. Locklear!
she has beautiful eyes. its a shame because she suffers from depression so we dont know whats going on in her head. shes been through a lot since that whore Denise Richards back stabbed her and humiliated her by taking her husband from her. its all good because Denise is a miserable has been and Charlie Sheen done moved on, got married and is about to have a new baby. and for the records MTO, they dont know if she was high on anything. the alcohol test came back negative but theyre waiting for the drug tests.
LMFAO...She looks like she was thinking, "I'm SORRY...!", when the feds snapped her picture*lol*.
Yo...doesn't she look like Puss 'N Boots from Shrek 2, when he tried to get Skrek's sympathy, by holding his hat and looking sad and cute*lmfao*...?
Do like ME: Do drugs...drive...and, DON'T get caught >;)!!!!
