Heather Locklear Arrested for DUI

Heather Locklear was arrested last night in Santa Barbara and booked on suspicion of driving under the influence — cops think she was on prescription meds.

A resident reported Heather was “driving erratically” while pulling out of a parking lot. The California Highway Patrol then found Locklear’s car parked on a state highway and blocking a lane. After talking with her, the officer determined she was under the influence of something and arrested her.

She was tested for drugs and alcohol. As we first reported, law enforcement tells us alcohol was not a factor. They are conducting drug tests. She was released without having to post bail.

Gary Coleman involved in accident

Gary Coleman is being sued by the guy he allegedly nailed with his truck — not surprising. The Salt Lake Tribune got the docs, and the guy’s account of what happened at the bowling alley is hilarious.

Colt Rushton was taking cell phone pics of Coleman in the next lane when Gary’s bodyguard came over and told him he’d have to pay $20 per picture if he kept shooting.

It got ugly later, when Colt tried taking a snap of Gary’s truck. Rushton says he was “attacked, without warning, from behind” by Gary’s wife and the bodyguard. Then, the big guy (Coleman) himself came over and walloped him in the chest “repeatedly” and then drove the truck into him.

Eight is Enough cast member Joan Prather hit and run

Joan Prather — Janet McArthur Bradford on “Eight Is Enough” — was arrested on felony hit-and-run charges over the weekend, after she allegedly dragged an L.A. County Sheriff’s deputy down PCH with her car.

The deputy attempted to stop Joan after she drove past barricades and road cones during the Malibu Triathlon.

According to the Malibu Surfside News, when Raines extended his arm — motioning for Joan to stop — his watch became entangled in her car. She didn’t stop and Michael had to run alongside the car for 20 feet until other deputies intervened.

The cop was treated at a local hospital for a sprained arm. Joan was booked on a felony hit-and-run and released on $50,000 bail.
