According to the Associated Press, police responded to a domestic disturbance around 10.00pm Sunday in Thousand Oaks, west of Los Angeles.

Sargent Eric Buschow told the LA Times: "She was extremely hostile and uncooperative and at one point became combative with the deputies".

He also said additional deputies were called to the scene.

The victim of the alleged domestic violence is believed to be a boyfriend, although authorities did not release his name.

The actress was previously arrested in 2008 on suspicion of driving under the influence of prescription medication.

Locklear has previously been married to Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora, and to Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee.

An engagement to former 'Melrose Place' co-star Jack Wagner was called off in 2011.
