Actress Heather Locklear has been charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence of drugs stemming from her arrest in Santa Barbara two months ago.

Locklear is accused of driving while under the influence of legally prescribed drugs. Investigators found no alcohol or illegal drugs in her system.

Many drivers don’t realize that they can be arrested for DUI even after taking drugs legally prescribed by a doctor. The issue in these cases is whether the driver was impaired, not whether the drug is legal or illegal.

Actress Heather Locklear was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) in Santa Barbara this weekend after a bystander called police about her erratic driving.

Police took Locklear to the station to test her for alcohol and drug use.  She was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs even though the results of her chemical test weren’t made available to the public. It’s not uncommon for police to launch a DUID investigation after finding no trace of alcohol in an individual accused of driving under the influence.
