Heather Locklear's Mug after Arrest

Heather LocklearHeather Locklear was arrested last night in Santa Barbara and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence -- cops think she was on prescription meds.

A resident reported Heather was "driving erratically" while pulling out of a parking lot. The California Highway Patrol then found Locklear's car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane. After talking with her, the officer determined she was under the influence of something and arrested her.

She was tested for drugs and alcohol. As we first reported, law enforcement tells us alcohol was not a factor. They are conducting drug tests.

She was released without having to post bail.

33. Shamus you are a tool...depression is not about not having parties or drivers or enough money or looks..it is a chemical illness of the brain and can strike anyone ...granted I don't believe Ms. Locklear is solely on depression medication, I think she has a substance abuse problem..that coupled with depression is why people don't make rational decisions like getting a driver or being a role model for your kid. But don't mouth off about depression being a disease of the haves versus the have nots...that had nothing to do with it..the previous poster was correct about looking to the late Paul Newman for a true Star.

34. Hey Billy's Dad:

It's WASTED not WAISTED. Heather is not losing her looks, she is getting more beautiful with age. Any moron can see that... well, any moron who can spell.

38. There are many kinds of anti-depressants that could produce dilated pupils, slurred speech, and agitation...Assuming Heather is on something "illegal" is discrediting not only her, but those who've helped her through a very traumatic time in her life...
My guess is that there's a problem with her meds, that could be fixed by adjusting them...Don't read too much into tabloid stories based on assumptions...
My thoughts are with Heather, and I don't believe for a second that she was just "high"...

42. I doubt the woman drove voluntarily. Ambien is well known for the adverse affect "sleep driving". I do not know what the law in C.A. is, but in some states she would not be held liable. Does anyone remember Joseph Kennedy being pulled over two years ago by the D.C. cops in his night clothes going to vote at 11:30 pm on a house bill?

43. If that is the worst she looks in a photo, that gal is something.

44. as we used to say "she's pie eyed"

i don't care what she's on...or if its legal... she has that crazed look in her eye like lindsay lohan had in her mug shot.

i will say at least she has her mouth closed. i can only imagine she was thinking about how she would look on tmz today.
