Locklear arrested for suspected DUI

MONTECITO, Calif. (UPI) -- Heather Locklear, who was recently treated for anxiety and depression, has been arrested in California for allegedly driving under the influence.

The 47-year-old actress is best known for her television roles on "Spin City," "Melrose Place" and "Dynasty." She was arrested for suspicion of DUI and being under the influence of a controlled substance Saturday.

"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 told People magazine. "The witness said Locklear was revving her engine loudly and backed over a pair of sunglasses several times. ... The witness called 911 because she was concerned for Locklear's safety. When a CHP officer arrived, Locklear was found seated inside her vehicle, which was partially blocking the roadway."

Marshall said Locklear was taken to a nearby police station because she seemed "disoriented and impaired."

"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 said.

People said Locklear's attorney Blair Berk wasn't immediately available to make a statement and her publicist had no comment regarding the arrest.
