Heather Locklear Arrested For DUI In Montecito

MONTECITO, Calif. — 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.

It's kind of sad, actually. I feel bad for her. Not only does she need some obvious recovery time, but she has to do it under the scrutiny of the media.

[Swerinjer]

AND she cant find work.

[evan la]

And she needs work why? Surely this woman has put away millions. If I were her, I'd retire.

[orkranger]

She looks alot better than Nick Nolte when he got his. All the glitter and glamour does no good when you're in the little room getting a mug shot. How she bounces back is the real test. I wish her luck.

[blondecuban]

She got what she deserved for driving under the influence. Thank God they pulled her over before she lef the parking lot. It's great when celebrities get arrested for DUI. It goes to show people that no one, not even the famous, are immune from the hand of the law.

[GuyFawkes]

Man, being drunk that early in the evening is bad. Nowhere to go but down from that.

[andyg]

Reports are saying she wasn't drunk, she was on meds of some kind.

Whew! After seeing this picture she should stick a pair of antlers on her head. On Halloween she can go as a deer in the headlights.

She looks more than drunk...some other added substances were taken - I"m sure.

[ltyr2002]

Why does her face on the main page have cuts and scratches on it?

LOL...

[VOTER]

I don't know but she sure looks like GW Bush in this photo.

[CaptainHowdy]

She's a CONSERVATIVE... thanks for JUST ASKIN'.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

[phall]

It appears that the mug shot used on the front page has been altered. All pixelated, etc. Making Heather look really terrible. Really distasteful use of photo shop skills. Does it increase the click throughs?

[a4audi08]

what are we supposed to feel bad for? maybe she just had a couple too many drinks and did something that im sure everyone that has posted here has done before in their life. stop with the psychoanalysis. sometimes people just want to have fun and take it a bit too far. and yes, she is still hot at 47.

[topazz]

This picture is haunting. She was obviously crying when it was taken, her mascara is smudged and her eyes look glassy. But beyond all that, she has the look of someone who is confused, lost, very hurt, and with nowhere to turn. It's tragic.

[StarkRavingNakedEmperor]

Agreed! She needs us to send her some loving, healing thoughts!

[decolonizeme]

Now if only she would go on Facebook and express her opinions about Bristol Palin, then I'd really respect her.

[VOTER]

LOL

[cobobs]

Leave the sad, empty lady alone. Money does not fill the void, contrary to what some poor chaps are asserting here.
