Heather Locklear arrested – UPDATED
Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of driving while under the influence and being under the influence of a controlled substance, according to the California Highway Patrol.
“Around 4:30 p.m., a female witness saw Heather Locklear driving erratically while leaving a parking lot in Montecito,” California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall said. “The witness said Locklear was revving her engine loudly, and backed over a pair of sunglasses several times.”
The witness, who didn’t recognize the actress, spotted her stopped on a nearby highway shortly thereafter. Locklear then exited her vehicle.
“The witness called 911 because she was concerned for Locklear’s safety,” Marshall said. “When a (California Highway Patrol) officer arrived, Locklear was found seated inside her vehicle, which was partially blocking the roadway.”
Locklear appeared “disoriented and impaired,” and was taken to a local CHP station and drug and alcohol tests were administered, Marshall said. The actress was cooperative with the tests.
“Alcohol was ruled out as a factor, but based on the officer’s observations, we believe Locklear was under the influence of prescription medication,” Marshall added.
She was hled in Santa Barbara County around 7 p.m. and released hours later.
The arrest comes two months after leaving an Arizona treatment facility. The actress has been battling anxiety and depression.
