Actress Heather Locklear could be tossed behind bars after allegedly bowling over a street sign in her BMW and then bolting, a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Locklear's Ventura County case is a misdemeanor, but the "Melrose Place" star is already on probation for pleading no contest to reckless driving in 2008 following her DUI arrest in Santa Barbara.
"If it's found she's in violation of her probation, she could be facing a maximum of 90 days in custody," Santa Barbara Deputy District Attorney Lee Carter said.
Locklear is due in Ventura County court May 17. Santa Barbara officials said they'll likely wait to take action until the current hit-and-run case is resolved.
The 48-year-old actress was cited and released Saturday after investigators used surveillance video from her gated community to match her BMW with debris left from the 4 a.m. crash, cops said.
"I can only say at the time we spoke to her, we had no indication [drugs or alcohol] were a factor," Ventura County Sheriff's Captain Ross Bonfiglio said.
Locklear's lawyer Blair Berk said his client is the registered owner of the BMW but "it's not clear yet who was driving the vehicle" at the time of the accident.
