Locklear intended to return to the hospital to get the help she needs after her release, PEOPLE learned earlier on Monday.

She also allegedly kicked a paramedic in the upper chest area while on a gurney, 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 — identified by TMZ as Locklear — had previously threatened to shoot deputies and had a handgun registered to her.
However, the individual was not armed, authorities said.
Following that incident, Locklear was transported to a hospital for a psychological evaluation.
