For the time being, Heather Locklear is in the clear.
With the police investigation over, the Santa Barbara District Attorney Office is reviewing the evidence, but “no charges have been filed yet” for the actress’ weekend DUI bust. The former Melrose Place predator was arrested last Saturday on suspicion of driving under the influence. The California Highway Patrol was alerted by what the incident report calls a “concerned citizen,” who, it turns out, is a former Us Weekly staffer who subsequently sold photos of the arrest. In the 911 call, the tipster claims Locklear seemed tipsy. (Listen to the 911 call.)
However, a new witness has stepped forward and says that Locklear “did not seem to be drunk at all.”
While the CHP said there was no sign Locklear, 47, had consumed excessive amounts of alcohol, a “drug recognition expert” told officers she appeared under the influence of an unspecified drug. She was tested and prosecutors are awaiting the results.
Locklear, who had been spending a getaway weekend at the luxury San Ysidro Ranch with boyfriend Jack Wagner, has since returned to her L.A.-area home. She has yet to commment on the arrest.

-Even though it had started to look as if Heather Locklear were being set up for failure by gossip hound JILL ISHKHANIAN, there are other witnesses who corroborate the story. According to TMZ, other phone calls have been made to the California Highway Patrol with a similar description of Locklear’s behavior on the day of her recent arrest. According a CHP official, “There’s no reason to believe [Ishkanian] is less than credible.”
