Celebrity Justice
Photos of Locklear Arrest

TMZ has obtained photos of Heather Locklear's DUI arrest on Saturday near Santa Barbara. The actress looks somewhat dazed as she's taken into custody. But after taking a closer look, she could have an interesting defense.
Launch photos
A resident called authorities after allegedly seeing Locklear driving "erratically" in a parking lot. But the CHP didn't see her driving -- she had pulled over on her own accord before they got there. There are reports she was arrested for driving under the influence of prescription medication -- but we're told the tests are still being analyzed. As we posted yesterday, no alcohol was involved.

The bottom line -- Locklear has a lawyer with a Ty Cobb batting average, Blair Berk. Especially given that deputies apparently didn't see her driving, look for a plea bargain and very possibly a reduced charge -- e.g., reckless driving.

By the way, check out the huge rock on her finger. She was apparently staying at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito with Jack Wagner.

5. I find it curious that the Paps are always on hand for these arrests. Could it be that they were watching Heather and when they saw her get in her car they called Police so they could create a story to increase the value of their photos?

7. They do not arrest you for prescriptions medicine. Come on.She looks wasted.

8. Yes, notice the cop is taking photos of Heather with his cell phone camera. Is that even allowed? He probably sold some of the pictures himself to make a little cash on the side. Heather looks exhausted - it doesn't mean she is totally wasted.

9. The police officer who is taking her picture in photo #12 should be immediately fired.....

10. Yep! I see it too!! There is more than a big lunch in that stomach of hers. It must suck to be a celebrity, you can never get in trouble or have a bad day.... like the rest of the world without everyone criticizing you.

11. And YES they CAN arrest you even for being under the influence of prescribed medication from your doctor mistysmom...
That's why they have warnings on the bottle...

12. YES! I agree with comment number 9 by janie. That officer should be fired. That behavior is totally unprofessional!

13. The cop taking the pics may be doing so because he doesnt want her to come back and say they did something to her while she was being arrested.

14. It is so sad.She has a beautiful daughter why cant parents think before they do stupid stuff it is bad enough when us "Normal people do something stupid but being a celeb and know you are being watched 24 - 7 you would think they would be a little smarter.As for the ring in pic 5 she is wearing black pants and in that pic the person is wearing cut up jeans so how can that be her hand?I hope she gets the help she needs for her sake and her daughters.

15. She's fat too old to be pregnant! And for the people bitching about the cop taking her photo, SHE'S IN A PUBLIC PLACE BREAKING THE LAW!! Get over yourselves!! There is someone else there taking pictures of everything too! I despise people who drive under the influece! You would be crying a whole different story had they not got to her in time and she ran over your Baby or Mother!
