California police investigating Heather Locklear’s weekend arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) believe the actress was high on prescription drugs at the time of her arrest.
The former Melrose Place star was taken into custody by police in Santa Barbara after a local reported her “driving erratically” upon leaving a parking lot in the coastal city.
She was booked for DUI and being under the influence of a controlled substance, and held behind bars overnight before being released on Sunday (28Sep08) without posting bail.
Explaining the incidents leading up to Locklear’s arrest, California Highway Patrol spokesperson Tom Marshall tells People.com, “Around 4:30 pm, a female witness saw Heather Locklear driving erratically while leaving a parking lot in Montecito. The witness said Locklear was revving her engine loudly, and backed over a pair of sunglasses several times.
“The witness called 911 because she was concerned for Locklear’s safety. When a CHP officer arrived, Locklear was found seated inside her vehicle, which was partially blocking the roadway.”
Authorities have ruled out alcohol intoxication after Locklear underwent tests at a local CHP station.
Marshall adds, “Alcohol was ruled out as a factor, but based on the officer’s observations, we believe Locklear was under the influence of prescription medication.”
The news comes just two months after Locklear checked out of an Arizona rehab clinic, where she received treatment for anxiety and depression.


She looks like such a mess! Here she is at the ‘Happy-Go-Lucky’ screening at the 46th Annual New York Film Festival.

Adam ‘DJ AM’ Goldstein is thanking his lucky stars after he escaped the plane crash that left four others dead earlier this month.
Goldstein and former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker were the only survivors after the Learjet they were passengers on failed to clear a runway in South Carolina and burst into flames. Four passengers died in the crash, including Barker’s assistant Chris Baker.
Goldstein, Nicole Richie’s DJ ex, returned to Los Angeles last weekend (20Sep08), and is currently resting and recovering from severe burns.
And he has made his feelings about his survival clear in a status update on social networking site Facebook.com.
Writing on his profile on Friday (26Sep08), he says, “Adam Goldstein is the luckiest guy alive.”
Goldstein’s representative Jenni Weinman released a statement on Friday thanking fans for all the well wishes.
Barker, who was also badly burned in the crash, is still being treated at hospital in Georgia.

Does it ever depress you to see these celebrities going on these amazing vacations. My vacations these days consist of campgrounds, screaming kids, bug shields, outhouses and smores. I want to go on some tropical vacation where I hire a tan young Caribbean boy to fan me down and bring me mojitos all day. Is that too much to ask?
