Heather Locklear was charged Tuesday with misdemeanor driving under the influence of legally prescribed drugs, following her arrest in September in a Santa Barbara County parking lot.

The “Dynasty” and “Melrose Place” actress made headlines two months ago when she was arrested at a Montecito parking lot after a concerned citizen called 911 to report an apparently drunk woman driving her car erratically. Police officers who came to the scene found the allegedly drunk woman, identified as Heather Locklear, had driven her car into a traffic lane, State Route 192, parking and thus partially blocking the lane.

The actress was taken to the California Highway Patrol’s Santa Barbara-area office. She was tested for alcohol consumption and later released, without having to post bail, pending toxicology test results. She was not under the influence of alcohol.

“There was no alcohol and no illegal narcotics in her system, only prescription medications,” said Santa Barbara County Deputy Dist. Atty. Lee Carter, as quoted by the Los Angeles Times.

Earlier this summer, Locklear checked into a medical facility in Arizona, seeking help for anxiety and depression and spent four weeks there.

Last month, further details were cleared about the case. The concerned citizen who had made the call which ultimately had 47-year-old Locklear arrested, identified as Jill Ishkanian, is a former employee of Us Weekly who, according to reports, currently works as a paparazzo and is under FBI investigation for illegitimately accessing US Weekly’s computer system to track down celebrities.

Ishkanian admitted she had been trailing Locklear and took photographs of the troubled actress, for a profit. In October, her attorney initially denied his client was on paparazzo duty at the time of the incident and that she just “happened” to be in the same place as Heather Locklear. The attorney also denied Ishkanian had hacked her former employer’s computer system.

He later claimed his client had performed her “civic duty” and that because she had alerted police on the possible danger Locklear was to herself and others, she was not “disqualified” from reporting the story.
