Heather Locklear was released from custody on Monday morning less than 12 hours after her arrest for allegedly attacking a police officer and an EMT who had responded to a disturbance call at her residence, PEOPLE confirms.
The former Melrose Place star, 56, walked free from the Ventura County Mail Jail at 9:10 a.m. Monday after posting a bail bond, detention records show.
It was not immediately clear if anyone accompanied her at the scene.
A rep for Locklear has not responded to PEOPLE’s request for comment.
Ventura sheriff’s spokesman Capt. Garo Kuredjian previously told PEOPLE that deputies went to Locklear’s home on Sunday after receiving a disturbance call shortly after 11 p.m.
The actress was allegedly “extremely intoxicated” and “arguing with friends and family” when they arrived, according to Kuredjian. As deputies tried to separate her, she kicked a responding officer.
Authorities wanted to have Locklear medically cleared due to her behavior and intoxication, but she allegedly kicked a paramedic in the upper chest area while on a gurney, they said.

Locklear was taken to the hospital, where she was cleared. She was then taken to the Ventura County Main Jail and booked for two misdemeanor counts of battery on a peace officer or emergency personnel.
She is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday, but an attorney may be able to appear on her behalf, Capt. Kuredjian said.
Last week, first responders were dispatched to Locklear’s home after a call came in from the sheriff’s office for a “suicidal” person “who is violent,” according to an incident report from the Ventura County Fire Department obtained by PEOPLE. The report indicated that the individual had previously threatened to shoot deputies and has a handgun registered to her. (She was not armed during the incident.)
Capt. Kuredjian was unable to comment or confirm the specifics of that call, but public records show that Locklear lives on the block where the incident occurred.
“At that location we contacted a person who had medical needs, and they were treated by the Ventura County Fire Department, and they were later transported to a local hospital,” he said. “There was no criminal activity. The person was not arrested.”
‘Family and Friends … Are Desperately Trying to Help’: Source
This weekend’s altercation continues Locklear’s string of run-ins with law enforcement.
In late February, she was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic battery and three counts of battery on a police officer. Police later searched her home for a firearm that was allegedly registered in her name, which detectives did not find.
Locklear’s attorneys, Blair Berk and William Haney, pleaded not guilty to battery on a police officer on her behalf in April, as she was in rehab.
After being accused of hitting her boyfriend, Locklear was charged with domestic abuse — but those charges were dropped in March.
Locklear has struggled with substance abuse in the past. In March 2008, her doctor called 911 reporting that she was suicidal, and that June, she sought help for psychological issues.
In March, Locklear checked into a treatment facility to help with her battle with addiction.
Her loved ones had “desperately” tried to help her for some time prior to her reported hospitalization for a psychological evaluation, a source close to her told PEOPLE.
“[Heather] is clearly not getting the proper medical and mental health help she needs,” the source said earlier this month.
“She isolates herself, which only feeds into the other issues,” the source continued. “Of course, you can’t force someone to get help — they have to want to — but it’s hard for someone who is sick to make smart choices and keep at it. She has family and friends who are desperately trying to help.”
