New York – Heather Locklear was arrested in Santa Barbara on suspicion she was driving under the influence of a controlled substance. She was pulled over by an officer on Saturday afternoon after a resident said that they saw the 47-year-old actress leaving a parking lot while “driving erratically.”

It has been reported that an officer noticed Locklear’s car on the state highway. It was blocking a lane in a wealthy community in Montecito. The actress was reportedly alone at the time of the incident.
A spokesman for the patrol, Tom Marshall, said that it was while the officer was speaking to Locklear that they determined that she was under the influence of something.

It was then that the actress was tested for alcohol and drugs at the police station. She was booked for suspicion that she was under the influence of some kind of prescription medication.

The actress, who has appeared in such television shows as “Dynasty” and “Melrose Place” and films like “Uptown Girls,” checked into a medical clinic back in June. She was reportedly seeking help for anxiety and depression. Last year, she divorced Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora after eleven years of marriage. The two have a daughter together, Ava Elizabeth.
