Locklear Busted

Less than three days after serving as our “unofficial spokeswoman” for transparency in government, Hollywood hottie Heather Locklear has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs.

Obviously, we had no idea this was going to happen when we selected Locklear as the visual accompaniment to one of our stories the other day, and frankly we’re not sure how these revelations will impact the cause of government transparency in South Carolina.

Needless to say, it’s pretty obvious we still think transparency is a very, very good thing.

Anyway, from TMZ:

Locklear was pulled over while driving in the Santa Barbara area.

Law enforcement officers tell us alcohol was not involved, however, they are conducting tests to determine if Locklear was under the influence of drugs.

We’re told she was released on her own recognizance, without having to post bail.

This could set up a bizarre custody battle given that Locklear and ex-hubby Richie Sambora have both been busted for similar charges.

Sambora pleaded no contest to DUI back in March — his daughter Ava was in the car at the time he was popped. We’re told Heather’s kids were not in the car when she was arrested.

Hmmm … all we can say is it’s a good thing King Solomon is not presiding over this case, people.
