More facts about Heather Locklear

Some tabloids reported that police has arrested 47-year-old famous actress Heather Locklear. They say that she has been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication in California. H. Locklear was taken to the police where she was tested for drugs and alcohol and was later released from custody. What happened with she during last years and could lead to this behavior? Let's look to her profile in wikipedia:
The carrier was brilliant:

"She is primarily known for her television work, her most notable roles being Sammy Jo Carrington on the 1980s soap opera Dynasty, Officer Stacy Sheridan in the 1980s cop drama T.J. Hooker, Amanda Woodward on the 1990s soap opera Melrose Place, and Caitlin Moore on the sitcom Spin City."

More complicated was her personal life:

"She married Richie Sambora on December 17, 1994 in Paris. On October 4, 1997 she gave birth to their daughter, Ava Elizabeth. Locklear's representative announced on February 2, 2006 that divorce papers had been filed to dissolve the couple's marriage. In further papers filed by Sambora, it has been revealed that the couple has been separated since December 26, 2005, and that Sambora will be seeking joint custody of Ava."

So we see here that she divorce Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora after 11 years of marriage. For now they have a 10-year-old daughter. This divorce lead to depression in her life:

"In March 2008, Locklear was involved in a controversy when a 911 call was made by a caller claiming to be her doctor who said that she was trying to commit suicide. The authorities arrived at Locklear's home shortly afterwards."

These sad circumstances lead to her arrest on September 27, 2008.
