Actress Heather Locklear was arrested yesterday in the Santa Barbara area for suspicion of driving under the influence.  Police are reporting that alcohol is not believed to be the culprit and tests are being conducted to check for drug use.

Locklear was released on her own recognizance without needing to post bail.  This year has been one hell of a year for the actress and her ex-husband Richie Sambora.  In March, Sambora was also arrested for driving under the influence.  He was arrested with his and Locklear’s 10 year old daughter Ava and her young cousin in the car.
