DUI charges versus Heather Locklear
A misdemeanor charge has been formally filed by California prosecutors versus Heather Locklear barely two months after she was caught driving under the influence of prescription drugs with an arraignment scheduled on January 26, 2009. The former Melrose Place and Dynasty star is undergoing treatment for depression and anxiety. The 47-year old actress divorced with drummer Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi last year.
The actress was arrested by the California Highway Patrol last September after Locklear's car was found blocking a highway lane. Locklear was found positive not of alcohol but of prescription medication. Reports indicate that former Us Weekly Magazine reporter Jill Ishkanian informed the police about the possibility of Locklear's intoxication and got photos of the star when she was booked by the police.
