Actress Heather Locklear was busted and charged with driving under the influence, in her second troubling incident this year, California officials said yesterday.

Locklear, 47, was booked on suspicion of driving while high on prescription drugs Saturday before she made bail at Santa Barbara County Jail at about 11:30 p.m., authorities said.
The county sheriff released a mug shot of the fried former “T.J. Hooker” actress, with running mascara and dark roots showing through her bleached blonde hair.
The “Melrose Place” star was in Montecito at about 4:30 p.m. when she caught the attention of a concerned driver, cops said.
“She was observed by a citizen pulling out of a parking lot and the woman thought she was driving really erratically,” California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Marshall said.
When an officer arrived, the former “Dynasty” star’s car was parked, blocking a lane of Highway 192, Marshall said.
Locklear passed tests to show she wasn’t drunk, but cops figured out she was impaired on an undisclosed prescription drug, officials said.
A rep for Locklear could not be reached for comment.
Ventura County paramedics rushed to Locklear’s home in March after a shrink called cops, fearing the actress could be despondent.
She was OK that day, but in April, she checked into an Arizona psychological treatment facility for depression and anxiety.
