Actress Heather Locklear has been arrested for felony domestic violence, according to reports.

The Ventura County Sheriff’s Office received a call of domestic disturbance in Thousand Oaks, Calif., at 10 p.m. Sunday.

Locklear’s brother called police after allegedly witnessing her and her boyfriend fighting at her Thousand Oaks home.

Responding officers reportedly saw marks on her boyfriend’s body.

When Locklear was arrested, she allegedly became physically aggressive, kicking and eventually hitting three police officers.

The 57-year-old was put in handcuffs and taken to the hospital for evaluation.

Locklear was booked at 1:03 a.m. Monday and released at 5:48 a.m. after posting $20,000 bail.

A court date has been set for March 13.
