Heather Locklear Arrested on Possible DUI
KTLA News ^ | September 28, 2008

MONTECITO -- Actress Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of DUI while driving in Montecito, police said this morning.

Locklear, no longer in custody, was arrested by the California Highway Patrol and booked around 8 p.m. Saturday, said Sgt. Alex Tipolt of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department.

CHP spokesman, Tom Marshall, says the arresting 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.

Locklear was believed to be under the influence of prescription medication, but he did not know what kind, Marshall said. He says Locklear was not under the influence of alcohol.

Locklear was released on her own recognizance, without having to post bail.

The 47-year-old actress is best known for television shows such as " Melrose Place" and "Spin City."

Her arrest could set up a bizarre custody battle given that Locklear and ex-husband Richie Sambora have both been busted on similar charges.

Sambora pleaded no contest to DUI back in March. His daughter Ava was in the car at the time he was popped. Locklear's children reportedly were not in the car when she was arrested.

In June, Locklear checked herself into an Arizona medical facility to fight anxiety and depression.

Xanax doesn’t open up the eyes like that. I’m going with coke.

Their poor kid. :(

I wonder if Heather was always loopy and needy and substance-abusey, and we just never heard about it all these years.
