Actress Heather Locklear was technically arrested but practically only cited and released for a hit-and-run close to her home in Westlake Village, California on Saturday (April 17). Someone heard a car crash at around 4am but only reported it to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department at 7:48 pm.

There was a knocked over “No Parking” sign and obvious signs a car had gone up the curb, hitting the sign. Deputies investigated the case and linked Heather’s black BMW, which presented damage consistent with the collision and promptly arrested the 48 year-old actress.

A lawyer on behalf of Heather, who was arrested for DUI back in 2008, told TMZ, “Ms. Locklear was cited with a misdemeanor traffic ticket as she is the registered owner of the vehicle. She was never taken into custody. The matter is still being looked into as it is not yet clear who was driving the vehicle.”
