Heather Locklear Arrested For DUI

Heather Locklear was arrested Saturday night on suspicion of driving while impaired. The actress was pulled over while driving near Santa Barbara California.

Law enforcement officers told reporters that alcohol was not involved, which means they suspect some type of drugs, and are conducting tests to determine if Locklear was under the influence.

Locklear was released on her own recognizance, without having to post bail.

News reports said on Saturday that a witness saw Locklear driving irregularly while leaving a parking lot. A California Highway Patrol officer later located her car parked on the side of the road and blocking traffic near Santa Barbara, about 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

The officer believed Locklear was under the influence and arrested her.

Locklear gained television stardom appearing in the television shows "T.J. Hooker", "Dynasty", "Melrose Place" and "Spin City". Locklear will also be seen next year in the Miley Cyrus family comedy "Hannah Montana: The Movie".

She has also completed work on the musical drama "Flying By", about a real estate developer who goes to his 25th high school reunion without his wife, and finds his old teenage band playing - and joins.
