Joan Prather -- Janet McArthur Bradford on "Eight Is Enough" -- was arrested on felony hit-and-run charges over the weekend, after she allegedly dragged an L.A. County Sheriff's deputy down PCH with her car.
The deputy attempted to stop Joan after she drove past barricades and road cones during the Malibu Triathlon.
According to the Malibu Surfside News, when Raines extended his arm -- motioning for Joan to stop -- his watch became entangled in her car. She didn't stop and Michael had to run alongside the car for 20 feet until other deputies intervened.
The cop was treated at a local hospital for a sprained arm. Joan was booked on a felony hit-and-run and released on $50,000 bail.
A rep for Prather was not available for comment.

Another Eight Is Enough star in trouble with the law. So what else is new? Man those people in that cast were cursed. All except for Did VanPatten and Betty Buckley.
WHY DIDN'T THE DEPUTY SHERIFF SHOOT HER IN THE HEAD ?.....I'LL TELL YOU WHY....BECAUSE THEN THE LIBERAL, BLEEDING HEART NEWS MEDIA WOULD BE PERSECUTING THE DEPUTY AND THE SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT !
NEXT TIME THE LIBERALS IN MALIBU WANT TO HOLD A TRIATHLON.....GET RODNEY KING TO DIRECT TRAFFIC !!!
It was during a triathlon? A cop had to run 20 feet? And he finds this distressing? How embarrassing.
I would have done her any time hot lil thing and whats her face the one that od and died to death
#3 why don't you get your raggedy, toothless, ugly ass momma to direct traffic you moron!!!
Wait.......hold on.......she was released. Give me a F*(#&T*Ying break. If this was me my ass would still be in county locked up.
WOULD YOU MOVIE STARS WHO WANT TO USE YOUR MONEY BUYING DRUGS JUST DONATE YOUR MONEY TO ME AND I'LL USE IT WISELY!!!!! OR YOU COULD HELP BAIL OUT OUR FAILING ECONOMY!!! OR FEED THE HUNGRY OR SHELTER THE HOMELESS OR HELP THE ELDERLY!!!
I was thinking the same thing. When you die, it is usually to death, UNLESS of course you die and they are able to bring you back. Lol.
Why dont we just wait and see what ALL of the facts are BEFORE we jump to conclusions. Leave the conclusion jumping to the media.
She hasn't been in the media in 25 years. An arrest is always good for at least an Ellen and a Larry King episode. Definately Howard Stern. Guess she's launching a tv comeback?
