Petty was arrested after allegedly hitting a skateboarder with her car in the city's Venice Beach area.
Spokesman Frank Mateljan says the actress was also charged with driving without proof of insurance. She is set to be arraigned June 25.
Petty's film credits include "Point Break," "Tank Girl" and "A League of Their Own." It could not immediately be determined Friday whether Petty retains a lawyer or professional representative.
