The news comes months after the actress was accused of hitting boyfriend Chris Heisser, 56, at her Westlake Village area home in February.
She was arrested for felony domestic violence, although that charge was later reduced to a misdemeanor, and then dropped entirely.
But she is still facing four counts of misdemeanor battery against a cop after she allegedly kicked and hit them when they tried to arrest her during that incident.
Following her arrest, Locklear completed a two-month stint at a rehab center, which ended on April 29. During that time, it Heisser is said to have taken care of her dog ‘Mister’.
But she wasn’t spotted out in public for another three weeks, when she was seen attending an alcoholics anonymous meeting on May 21 in Thousand Oaks,California, with Heisser.
The Melrose Place star was married to Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora from 1994 to 2007 and Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee between 1986 and 1993.
But she has had a long fall from grace.
