Heather Locklear Arrested for Hit-and-Run

The Ventura County Sheriff tells ET that actress Heather Locklear was arrested after she allegedly knocked over a "no parking" sign and fled the scene.

According to police, the accident took place on Saturday in Westlake Village, Calif. near Locklear's home. A resident of Locklear's community heard a commotion around 4 a.m. Saturday morning but did not report the incident until the next day after finding debris and the sign that had been knocked down.

Police traced the debris back to Locklear's 2005 black BMW. The sheriff tells ET that the actress was not taken into custody but given a citation. She has a court date set to take place in May.
