History Of Substance Abuse And Arrest
These days, Heather Locklear is rarely seen on the big screen, and this is all connected to her dark past.
Her last acting project was in 2021, ” Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff: The Kristine Carlson Story,” which also came after five years.
Before the movie was released, she said,
I thought, ‘I don’t know if I’m going to work again. I don’t know if there’s going to be any offers.’ And then this came to me.

The same year, Heather was arrested twice for battering police officers and was nearly sent to jail but reached a plea deal.
Likewise, she was taken under custody for DUI in 2008 (later dismissed) and a hit-and-run accident (crash knocked down a street sign) in 2010.
