Actress Heather Locklear was arrested at her Thousand Oaks home on Sunday evening on suspicion of domestic battery and assault of a police officer.
The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office responded to Locklear’s home around 9:42 p.m. for a domestic dispute involving her boyfriend.
According to police reports, Locklear became hostile and uncooperative and became combative with deputies at one point when additional units were called to the scene. Sgt. Eric Buschow stated Locklear started trying to fight with the law enforcement officers, physically resisted arrest, and struggled to get into a patrol car.
She was arrested at 10:27 p.m. on suspicion of one felony count of domestic battery as there was physical evidence of battery on her boyfriend. She also was booked on suspicion of three misdemeanor counts of battery of a peace officer.
Locklear was taken to a hospital and medically cleared before she was booked into the Ventura County Jail. She was released before 6:00 a.m. Monday after posted $20,000 in bail.
This isn’t her first run-in with the law. She was arrested by the California Highway Patrol in 2008 on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance. She was seen acting bizarrely in a Montecito parking lot — driving back and forth over a pair of sunglasses and revving her engine — before driving away and stopping her car in the street. A CHP officer found the car parked on SR-192 with her behind the wheel. However, in 2009 the DUI charge was dismissed as part of a plea deal, reports the Los Angeles Times.
In 2010, the actress was also arrested for allegedly hitting a no-parking sign on a public street in Ventura County and was cited for misdemeanor hit-and-run. According to TMZ, in 2001 the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call at Locklear’s then-boyfriend Jack Wagner’s home after an alleged physical altercation, although no charges were filed.
Locklear is best known for starring in such television shows as “Melrose Place” and “Spin City.” She has not made a public statement on the incident.
How do you get a plea agreement on a DUI, such happened with the Montecito incident? Can just anyone get one?
…and how is this related to Santa Barbara?
Thousand Oaks isn’t very far, and she has a history of issues in SB and Ventura counties. Chillax.
Poor little rich girl (56). Money talks and wealthy almost always walk. Hopefully my theory doesn’t pan out for somebody with a yuge bullseye on his back in Washington, DC.
So sad for Heather, she deserves some happiness in life.
“A psychology study comparing 214 professional actors to a cohort of non-acting North Americans has in fact found significantly higher rates of disordered personality traits in the thespians. The study, co-authored by actor Mark Davison and University College London psychology professor Adrian Furnham, is forthcoming in the journal Psychology of Popular Media Culture.
In the study, male and female actors alike scored significantly higher on measures of antisocial, narcissistic, histrionic, borderline, schizotypal, and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder traits than non-actor peers, as defined by the Coolidge Axis-II inventory of personality disorders. Male actors had significantly more traits for dependent and avoidant personality disorders as well.”
Try, Try again….
she didn’t beat him, she just bit him……
no, but females biting males is ok
OOPS – I see. So does your spouse/partner know you condone domestic violence?
yes
yes
A lucky escape for that adorable goofball Tommy Lee. I can’t help but thinking how “Melrose Place” this incident is.
Well, if you’re going to whine about getting your mugshot posted then maybe you shouldn’t do the crime in the first place.
I hate to see anyone go down from substance abuse it’s one thing to be able to have acouple drinks and another to wet your brain…
Then maybe she should behave.
Getting arrested is one thing, posting pictures of someone at a low point is another. I am against posting pictures of someone who hasn’t given permission to do so – especially under these circumstances. Its none of anyone’s business to witness by photo someone’s troubles. How would you like having your arrest photo posted for all the county to see?
Funny Girl – So I assume you are opposed to the posting of ALL mugshots, not just rich white folks who have are having “troubles?”
Weird that so many here feel sympathy for a felon domestic abuser. I wonder if you’d all be singing the same sad tune if a male actor beat his female partner?
I would actually like people to see my mug shots, in fact I would like to see them.
I feel sorry for her because of what the substance abuse has done to her brain you can tell by the picture she is not all there anymore. I don’t feel sorry for her because of her actions….
