In 2008, Heather was arrested in connection with suspicion of driving under the influence and for being under the influence of a controlled substance in Montecito, California. At the time, California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall told People: "The witness called 911 because she was concerned for Locklear’s safety. When a CHP officer arrived, Locklear was found seated inside her vehicle, which was partially blocking the roadway." He added: "Alcohol was ruled out as a factor, but based on the officer’s observations, we believe Locklear was under the influence of prescription medication."
