Heather Locklear was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance in the upscale Santa Barbara area, authorities said Sunday.

Locklear, 47, was pulled over by a California Highway Patrol officer Saturday afternoon after a resident reported seeing the actress leaving a parking lot and “driving erratically,”.

The report states that when officers arrived Locklear appeared disoriented, and after giving her a DUI test they determined it was not alcohol. “Although obvious impairment was exhibited during the tests, alcohol was ruled out as a factor.” Locklear was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence and taken to the Santa Barbara CHP office.

“She was evaluated by a drug recognition expert, who concluded Ms. Locklear was under the influence of a controlled substance, and could not safely operate a motor vehicle.”

Locklear was then booked at the Santa Barbara County Jail. She was released at 11 p.m. that evening on $5,000 bail.
