Why Hollywood Won't Cast Heather Locklear Anymore

Publish date: 2024-05-31

A few months after her stint in rehab, TMZ broke the news that Locklear was arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated. According to People, a witness called the police after allegedly seeing Locklear driving erratically and exiting her vehicle in the middle of a busy highway. When police arrived, they found the actress inside her car, but it was partially blocking the roadway. A police spokesman told People, "Alcohol was ruled out as a factor, but based on the officer's observations, we believe Locklear was under the influence of prescription medication."

In January 2009, People reported that Locklear pleaded no contest to reckless driving and agreed to take a DMV safety class. In exchange, the DUI charge was dropped. It was a lucky break for the actress whose reputation wasn't doing so hot.
