Heather Locklear arrested

Former Melrose Place star facing court over allegedly assaulting police and emergency worker.

Ex-Melrose Place star Heather Locklear has now been arrested for allegedly being intoxicated and assaulting a US police officer.

The incident reportedly took place on Sunday night, less than a week after being hospitalised and undergoing a psychiatric evaluation, when police were called to her home.

According to TMZ, Locklear was reportedly intoxicated on Sunday night when a family member called 911. When authorities arrived, she allegedly began to attack the officer.

A spokesman for Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said she was arrested on Sunday on two counts of misdemeanour battery — one on assault of a police officer and one on assault of an emergency personnel.

She was taken into custody and is currently being held on a $20,000 bail. A court hearing is set for Tuesday.

In February, Locklear was charged with one count of domestic violence and three counts of battery on emergency personnel.
