Follow Up to Heather Locklear’s Arrest for Driving Under the Influence

Back in September, we reported that Heather Locklear had been arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs.  Locklear has now been officially charged with one count of driving under the influence of drugs, due to prescription medication in her system that Santa Barbara DDA says “could have impaired her ability to safely drive a motor vehicle.”

No alcohol or illegal substances were found in samples taken from her at the time of her arrest.
