In late February, Locklearwas arrestedon suspicion of felony domestic battery and three counts of battery on a police officer. Police latersearched her homefor a firearm that was allegedly registered in her name.
Capt. Kuredjian told PEOPLE after the February incident that Locklear’s alleged threats against deputies — she verbally threatened them, saying she would “shoot them if they ever came to her house again,” according to the Thousand Oaks Police Department — were what prompted the search to seize the firearm, which detectives did not find.
Locklear’s attorneys, Blair Berk and William Haney,pleaded not guiltyto battery on a police officer on her behalf in April, as she was in rehab.
After being accused of hitting her boyfriend, Locklear was charged with domestic abuse — but those charges were dropped in March.
Locklearhas struggled with substance abusein the past. In March 2008, her doctor called 911 reporting that she was suicidal, and that June, she sought help for psychological issues.
In March, Locklear checked into atreatment facilityto help with her battle with addiction.
“She didn’t go because she was forced,” a longtime associatetold PEOPLE at the time. “There was no intervention. She went in on her own. She wanted to feel better and get to the bottom of what was troubling her.”
