Heather Locklear’s Arrest Caught On Film
Yesterday morning TMZ broke the news that Heather Locklear was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of driving while under the influence … this morning they provide photos of Heather’s actual arrest — from Breathalyzer to handcuffs to mugshot — which, even if she never has to actually pay for her crimes, should be detrimental to her attempts to win custody of her daughter away from ex-hubby Richie Sambora. Click HERE to see the pics:
TMZ has obtained photos of Heather Locklear’s DUI arrest on Saturday near Santa Barbara. The actress looks somewhat dazed as she’s taken into custody. But after taking a closer look, she could have an interesting defense. A resident called authorities after allegedly seeing Locklear driving “erratically” in a parking lot. But the CHP didn’t see her driving — she had pulled over on her own accord before they got there. There are reports she was arrested for driving under the influence of prescription medication — but we’re told the tests are still being analyzed. As we posted yesterday, no alcohol was involved. The bottom line — Locklear has a lawyer with a Ty Cobb batting average, Blair Berk. Especially given that deputies apparently didn’t see her driving, look for a plea bargain and very possibly a reduced charge — e.g., reckless driving. By the way, check out the huge rock on her finger. She was apparently staying at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito with Jack Wagner.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure since the police have no evidence that Heather was actually driving while under the influence of whatever it is she may have been under the influence of, the prosecutor is going to have a tough time getting anything substantial to stick. Plea bargain looks they way to go … which is pretty much what I predicted yesterday. Also, I gotta say that I’m pretty disturbed by the photo of the police officer taking a cellphone photo of Heather getting arrested … can they actually do that? Are police officers allowed to take photos like these (which can be sold, for example) while they are on the job? Just wondering. In any event, altho Heather will prolly not have to serve any sort of real punishment for this arrest, I’m sure these photos will come back to haunt her. Is that enough to keep her clean? I guess time will eventually tell.

So much to say about this whole mess with the police, etc. but it’s been said. I will add though that Hether’s skin looks great in that mugshot.

I’m pretty sure cops are not supposed to be taking pics like that…

Margie, you are so right … I was thinking that this is prolly the prettiest celeb mug shot I think I’ve seen.

Definitely. The complete opposite of Nick Nolte’s mugshot full of awesome.

Heather’s lookin a hot mess, good lord! I’m pretty sure it’s illegal for the cops to be taking a cell phone picture of ANYONE getting arrested, esp a celeb. If I was her, I’d sue the crap out of LAPD! Or atleast use it to get my charge dismissed.

The prettiest mug shot? … are you kidding!!? I hope Heather pulls herself together. I remember the days when she was known as “Heather Be Thy Name”! Who would have thought it would come to this …

Look at the way the Thug-cop has Heathers wrist.
Its wrenched up in an unatural position that must have hurt like hell. Its a good way to provoke the victim err suspect into “resisting”
I counted at least 3 thugs there gettin their jollys.
Welcome to fascist california.
