Heather Locklear's California DUI Dismissed

Actress Heather Locklear pleads to lesser offense of reckless driviing and receives probation.

Heather Locklear entered a plea of no contest to misdemeanor reckless driving and, in exchange, had her case of driving under the influence of drugs dismissed. Locklear was not in the Santa Barbara court on Friday morning when her California defense attorney accepted a plea bargain that calls for the actress to serve three years of probation, pay a $700 fine and complete a 12-hour drug education program.

Last September the 47-year old Locklear was charged with California DUI in Montecito after a 911 call alerted police to her erratic driving. She was determined to be impaired by prescription drugs. A blood test confirmed no presence of alcohol or illegal narcotics.
