Sheriff's officials said the Dynasty star kicked, pushed and shouted at deputies who were answering a report that she was violent with her boyfriend Feb. 26. No domestic violence charges were filed.

Locklear's representatives did not immediately reply to requests for comment.

She's scheduled for arraignment Tuesday in Ventura County Superior Court.

Defendants in misdemeanor cases generally do not have to appear in person if they are represented by an attorney.
