celebrity-news Heather Locklear Caught On The Wrong Side Of The Law

Heather Locklear was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance in Santa Barbara, California on Saturday afternoon.

A California Highway Patrol officer arrested the actress after a resident reported seeing her leaving a parking lot and “driving erratically,” patrol spokesman Tom Marshall said. She was released later that day after posting $5,000 bail.

Law enforcement officers tell us alcohol was not involved, however, results of the tests indicated the star was under the influence of prescription medication.

Saturday’s DUI drama comes just two months after Heather Locklear checked out of an Arizona rehab clinic, where she received treatment for anxiety and depression.
