Heather Locklear charged with DUI.
Heather Locklear has been charged with a DUI after her September 27 arrest, the Santa Barbara District Attorney's Office told People magazine.
People magazine also reports the drugs in question were described as "prescription medications," in the charge filed by the DA's office. If convicted, the 47-year-old actress may face "a fine to up to six months in county jail."
Senior Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter also told People, "Lab tests showed she had no alcohol in her system and no illegal narcotics of any kind. . . . We believe that the prescriptions she was taking could have impaired her ability to drive a motor vehicle safely."
According to ABC, the police were called out on the night of September 27 by Jill Ishkanian, a former reporter and editor at Us Weekly, who said Locklear appeared intoxicated. Ishkanian sold photographs of the event to celebrity news site TMZ.com for $27,500.
