Heather Locklear just dodged a missle. Authorities have dismissed charges against the actress stemming from an arrest for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence in Santa Barbara last September 28.

The former Melrose Place star has pleaded no contest to a lesser charge of misdemeanor reckless driving and has been ordered to “pay a $700 fine, attend a 12-hour Driver’s Education course. and be on informal probation.”

Good for Heather. With that frightening mugshot floating around, we think the poor girl has been punished enough.
