Actress Heather Locklear was arrested after a reported altercation with her boyfriend and was accused of battering three police officers who arrived at the scene, officials said.

The arrest occurred Sunday evening after cops were called to Locklear’s home in Thousand Oaks, Calif. on suspicion that she committed domestic violence against her boyfriend, Thousand Oaks Police Dept. Capt. Garo Kuredjian told the Daily News.

Locklear, 56, was “immediately uncooperative” after police arrived and ultimately battered three deputies during the arrest, Kuredjian said. None of the officers sustained injuries.

Police noticed a visible mark of trauma on Locklear’s boyfriend, who has not been identified. Locklear was charged with felony domestic violence and three counts of misdemeanor battery on emergency personnel.

Authorities did not observe any injuries on Locklear, but she told officials she was hurt and was taken to the hospital to be evaluated. Upon being cleared, Locklear was booked at a Ventura County jail a little after 1 a.m.

She was released several hours later after posting $20,000 bail.

The initial phone call to police came at around 10 p.m. Sunday, and Ventura County jail records show she was arrested at 10:27 p.m.

Locklear has a court appearance scheduled for March 13, according to the jail records.

The “Melrose Place” and “The Perfect Man” actress was previously arrested in 2008 on suspicion of driving under the influence. She was ordered to appear in court in 2012, meanwhile, following an alleged altercation with her then-boyfriend Jack Wagner.

A rep for Locklear did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
