According to reports by drunk driving lawyers in Los Angeles, the September driving under the influence charge that turned out to be prescription drug related was dismissed today in a Santa Barbara court.
Locklear entered a plea agreement with prosecutors where she will serve three years of informal probation; she will complete 12 hours of DMV road safety classes which she will also pay $700 dollars.
Locklear was formally charged in November after the September incident when she was tested for drugs at the police station, after having blocked traffic in Montecito when she parked her car in the lanes of the highway. When California Highway Patrol officers arrived the officer stated the 47-year-old actress showed signs of being impaired.
In November Locklear was charged with driving under the influence of drugs.
Locklear was not present in court and was instead represented by her attorney Blair Berk, who did not comment on the case.
