Locklear Police Report -- "Obvious Impairment"

The California Highway Patrol has released the arrest report from Heather Locklear's DUI bust:

"A concerned citizen observed a visibly impaired woman, later identified as Heather Locklear, at a parking lot in Montecito, CA. Ms. Locklear was driving forwards and backwards over a pair of sunglasses and revving her engine. A few moments later, that citizen watched Ms. Locklear drive away. The citizen left the parking lot and came upon Ms. Locklear and her vehicle now stopped within the roadway on east Valley Road, near Live Oaks Road, in Montecito.

The citizen became concerned when Ms. Locklear exited her vehicle and stumbled into the traffic lane. Concerned for Ms. Locklear's safety, the citizen called 911 and reported the entire incident to CHP Ventura Dispatch.

CHP Dispatch broadcast the situation to officers in the area. Santa Barbara CHP officers responded to the area. Upon arrival, they located Ms. Locklear seated alone in the driver's seat of her vehicle which was obstructing the traffic lane.

Upon contact Ms. Locklear appeared to be disoriented. After an on scene evaluation a DUI investigation was initiated. Although obvious impairment was exhibited during the tests, alcohol was ruled out as a factor.

Based on the circumstances and Ms. Locklear's objective symptoms, she was arrested for suspicion of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance.

She was transported to the Santa Barbara CHP office, where she was evaluated by a Drug Recognition Expert, who concluded Ms. Locklear was under the influence of a controlled substance, and could not safely operate a motor vehicle.

A chemical test was obtained and Ms. Locklear was transported and booked into the Santa Barbara County Jail for violation of 23152(a) VC (Driving under the influence) and 11550 (a) H&S (being under the influence of a controlled substance)."

3. If this "citizen" was so concerned, why didn't she go over and help get Ms Locklear out of the roadway? If Heather had been run over and killed while this "concerned citizen" was sitting and watching, would she be charged with negligent homicide?

4. The first time a concerned citizen ever called the police on a person driving eratically, what a coincidence. I wish more people would do this. It's funny it was her a movie star though. But if she was impared she deserves the punishment, how would she like it if someone drove a car into her family.

5. Any "concerned citizen" would have called the paramedics.
Any mature citizen would have gone over to the woman and offered assistance.
You don't know what is wrong unless you help.
To the "witnesses" - take a lesson.
What if it had been YOU?!

6. Concerned citizen, not likely.

If her drug test comes back positive I hope they throw the book at her. Which in celebrity world means 45 minutes in prison.

7. The concerned citizen was Jill Iskanian, and Jill is the only alleged witness of “Locklear driving forwards and backward over a pair of sunglasses, and revving her engine.” After Ms. Locklear drove away, the report goes on to state that “The citizen” (Jill Iskanian) left the parking lot can came upon Ms. Locklear’s vehicle stopped within the roadway. – This statement is not true. Jill’s 911 phone call states that she was following Heather from the parking lot.

Jill was watching Heather for an hour in the store, with the possibility that Jill noticed that Heather may have not been feeling well from her medication. – Jill tells her boyfriend to put sugar in her gas tank, followers her till her car stalls, then calls the cops to report Heather's car disabled on the side of the road with a 911 call for a phony drunk driving. - Then calls the paparazzi.

There is a photo of heather trying to push her car to the side of the road. – If Ms Iskanian, and her boyfriend Vince set Heather up, I hope they go to prison for their crimes.

Actually, the caller didn't have the choice to say "only send paramedics" or call paramedics directly. You call 911 and 911 dispatches whomever they think appropriate. You don't get to choose, "I want to be nice, send medics" or "I want to be mean, send the cops!"

9. Thank God nothing bad happened. She could have caused an accident. Heather needs to get her act together. She doesn't have to work at a 9 to 5 job. Or wonder where her or her daughter's next meal is coming from. She needs to go to therapy big time and do charity work. Go to an impovershed country and help those poor souls. Take Jennifer Aniston with you!!!

12. The BIG difference between heather and the usualy bunch that seem to get in trouble is that Heather is not a skank, not a loser, not a media whore. No one hates her, so no one wants to see her in trouble. Everything I have ever read or heard about her has been good.

We all go through crap and lots of people have been through what she's going through right now but not as publicly. Leave the poor girl alone already.

13. Has anyone ever tried to run over a pair of sunglasses with their tire, going forwards, and backwards over the sunglasses while revving the engine, and being sober? Yet, at the same time also being "visually impaired" reported by Jill Iskanian, then later calling 911 for her concern. - If somebody is visually impaired while also expertly driving over sunglasses, the person must be psychic.

14. Number 11: I couldn't agree with you more......

Seeing how the "concerned" citizen wanted to be involved...
