April 22, 2010 (by Horatio Algren) According to reports by a Los Angeles DUI attorney, the actress known for her roles in Melrose Place and Spin City allegedly left the scene of an accident in Ventura County.

Heather Locklear was not arrested Saturday after Ventura County Sheriff’s Department claim she allegedly fled the scene of an accident near her home. There was no blood alcohol tests preformed due to the amount of time between the incident and the Ventura County Sheriff’s office investigating the scene which led to the actress’ vehicle.

According to Capt. Ross Bonifigilio Locklear early Saturday morning veered off the road hitting a no parking sign. She then drove away without notifying authorities of the crash and was cited with a misdemeanor traffic violation.

The evidence at the scene of the knocked over no parking sign according to authorities match Locklear’s black BMW near her Westlake Village gated community.

Locklear is scheduled for a court appearance on May 17th, and is currently on three years’ probation for a September 28, 2008 incident when she was charged with misdemeanor driving under the influence of prescription drugs. The star pleaded no contest in the DWI charges, and the lesser offense of reckless driving was dropped.
