Heather Locklear, 47, has finally been charged for the September incident in which she was arrested for driving erratically after a paparazzi tipped off police.

Locklear was found to have been under the influence of prescription medications.

Senior Deputy Attorney Lee Carter confirmed the news.

“Lab tests showed she had no alcohol in her system and no illegal narcotics of any kind. We believe that the prescriptions she was taking could have impaired her ability to drive a motor vehicle safely.”

However, he would not specify the name of the drug or the amount taken.

If convicted on the misdemeanor charge, Locklear faces monetary punishment as well as up to six months in jail.

Her arraignment takes place on January 26th.
