heather-locklear1California, Apr 22, (THAINDIAN NEWS) Blonde American actress Heather Locklear was reportedly arrested for a hit-and-run incident. She hit a no-parking sign on Saturday, in California in the wee hours of the morning. Then she did not notify anybody about the incident and fled the scene, as the reports suggest. The place was quite close to her residence as the tabloids have said. The Ventura County Sheriffs managed to trace her black BMW and understood what happened at the spot. She was hence cited for a misdemeanor hit-and-run offence. She was later released after paying a fine.

The spokesperson of the Ventura County Sheriff said that the actress was not taken to a Police station or handcuffed as such. It was because her offense was not of a severe kind. She cooperated during the interrogation. The sheriff’s office did not reveal much information on what happened after that. She was arrested in 2008 for DUI and pleaded no contest. Thereafter, she was made to serve a three-year probation term. Again she was arrested in that year for driving after consuming prescription medication.

The latest incident for which she has been sited may be dubbed by law as a probation violation, a Santa Barbara prosecutor has said. It then may make her land up in prison for 3 months. Blair Berk, who is the lawyer of the actress, has said that she was indeed cited with a misdemeanor as she was the owner of the car. However, she was not driving it at that time. The blonde actress is due to appear in a court for the hearing on May 17th.
