Heather Locklear has been charged with a misdemeanor Driving Under the Influence of Prescription Drugs, Access Hollywood has learned.
The charges, filed Monday by the that the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s Office, stem from suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance in Montecito, Calif., back in September.
A rep for the Santa Barbara District Attorney’s office told Access there was no alcohol or illegal narcotics in Locklear’s system, only prescription medication.
Specific details on which medications she had taken could not be revealed, due to privacy laws.
