“Melrose Place” actress Heather Locklear was arrested for hit-and-run last Saturday. The victim? A roadside No Parking sign. TMZ says

Deputies found a knocked over “no parking” sign and obvious signs of a car that went up the curb, striking the sign.

Deputies confirmed through investigation that the car in question was Locklear’s black BMW.

Deputies then went to Locklear’s home, saw damage to the BMW that was consistent with the collision, and arrested her for hit-and-run. A court date has been set for May 17.

Wow, the L.A.P.D. sure are a crackerjack police squad. That No-Parking-sign whodunit could have left tens of people parking on the wrong side of the street for weeks. I know I’ll rest a little easier now that the celebrity menace responsible for this atrocity has finally been brought to justice. Mostly because I’m really a Street Sweeping Every Third Thursday of the Month sign with kids to feed.
