California Highway Patrol officers responding to a motorist’s report of a visibly impaired woman on East Valley Road near Live Oaks Road discovered actress Heather Locklear exhibiting symptoms of drug use about 5 p.m. Saturday. Locklear, whose car was partially obstructing traffic on East Valley Road, was arrested on suspicion of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of a controlled substance and booked into County Jail.
