Moral apex #2: Getting arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance.
From The Times Online:
Former Melrose Place star Heather Locklear has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after displaying bizarre behaviour while driving in a wealthy community in California on the weekend.The American actress, who recently left a medical treatment centre where she had been treated for depression, was arrested after driving erratically, revving her engine loudly and repeatedly backing over a pair of sunglasses in a parking lot in the exclusive enclave of Montecito in Santa Barbara, about 4.30pm on Saturday.
Police said a witness reported that Locklear, who she hadn’t recognised, had stopped on a nearby highway and got out of her car, apparently stumbling into traffic. …
[California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall] said Ms Locklear appeared to be “disoriented and impaired” and was taken to a local police station and given tests for drug and alcohol.
“Alcohol was ruled out as a factor, but based on the officer’s observations, we believed Locklear was under the influence of prescription medication,” Mr Marshall added. He said the actress co-operated with police.
Ms Locklear was charged with driving under the influence of prescription drugs and released at 11pm on £2700 ($US5000) bail. …
It is not the first time this year she has been in trouble. In March paramedics were called to Ms Locklear’s house after a psychiatrist feared she was despondent. …
Suggested Bible reading for Ms. Locklear:
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.Proverbs 20:1
