Heather Locklear was arrested last September for allegedly driving under the influence of prescription drugs. I didn’t know this part, but according to ABC News, a former Us Weekly reporter called 911 to report that Locklear appeared intoxicated and was driving erratically. The reporter proceeded to take pictures of Locklear’s arrest, and later sold the photos to TMZ.com. What a helpful lady!

Alcohol was ruled out as a factor but the former Melrose Place star tested positive for prescription drugs. Now Locklear has plead no contest to the lesser offense of reckless driving, and the DUI charges have been dismissed. She was sentenced to three years probation and a $700 fine. Locklear’s lawyer, Blair Berk, has defended a crapload of celebrity clients in the past, including Mel Gibson, Kiefer Sutherland, Locklear’s ex Richie Sambora, and Mackenzie Phillips. He truly is the patron saint of celebs in legal trouble.
