Booze, Pills & Violence! Inside Messy Heather's Downward Spiral Before Domestic Violence Arrest
Feb. 26 2018, Published 4:20 p.m. ET
Troubled star Heather Locklear was arrested Sunday night on felony charges of domestic violence and battery against a police officer, RadarOnline.com reported. The former Hollywood sexpot reportedly became combative and kicked three deputies who responded to the call. As RadarOnline.com readers know, Tommy Lee's former wife has decades-long criminal history involving substance abuse of alcohol and prescription pills, as well as messy divorces and Hollywood hook-ups that have resulted in messy run-ins with police. Click through the gallery to read about all of Locklear's criminal mishaps that contributed to her downward spiral.
Just weeks before Locklear's Sunday night run-in with police, the booze-addled star checked into rehab for the sixth time, RadarOnline.com exclusively reported. Weeks before her rehab stint, the famed actress "went completely psycho" on her boyfriend, Chris Heisser, 56, and "threw things at him."
In September 2017, family and friends feared for Locklear's wellbeing after she mysteriously crashed her car three feet into a ditch and broke her collarbone, RadarOnline.com reported.
Just like this past year, Locklear had a disastrous 2016 holiday season. At the time, the star checked into rehab "crying and screaming" because she was "drunk and on pills," a source at the Cliffside Malibu Rehab Center dished to RadarOnline.com.
In 2016, Locklear was reportedly having jealousy issues with her own daughter, Ava. "Heather and Ava are close but since Ava's been getting noticed on the modeling scene, Heather has been very cold," an insider told Star Magazine at the time.
Earlier, in 2012, Locklear had another alleged meltdown with her former fiancé, Jack Wagner. After Wagner lunged at his wife-to-be, Locklear "caught Jack with a right hook across his face," Star reported after Wagner lunged at the Hollywood actress.
The behind-the-scenes violence left Locklear and Wagner meeting with prosecutors, RadarOnline.com reported at the time. Fortunately, this time Locklear faced no charges.
Earlier that year, Locklear's own sister, Colleen called 911 after fearing for the starlet's safety. At the time, Locklear was reportedly found to be "out of control" after taking Xanax and drinking heavily.
Locklear once again was in police custody and faced 90 days in jail after she was issued a citation for a hit and run after plowing down a "no parking" sign in Westlake Village, California.
The former Melrose Place actress was also arrested back in 2008 under the suspicion of driving under the influence of a controlled substance, the National Enquirer reported at the time.
