Richie Sambora Racks Up DUI Charge

Troubled by substance abuse for some time now, Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was arrested on a DUI charge in Laguna Beach last night (March 25).

The 48-year-old New Jersey native was “pulled over about 10:52 p.m. Tuesday night after police said they spotted him weaving on the road,” Laguna Beach Police Sgt. Jason Kravetz told press.

Breaking reports add that “Sambora was driving a Hummer and was with three unidentified women, one adult and two juveniles. He was given a blood alcohol test, and was released on his own recognizance at about 4 a.m.”

Scheduled to appear in court on May 7th, Sambora has been in and out of rehab in the past - most recently staying at the Cirque Lodge during Lindsay Lohan’s stint in the Orem, Utah facility this past September.

Update: It’s now being reported that Sambora could be charged with child endangerment, as his 10-year-old daughter Ava, along with another juvenile and another adult, were in the car. So far, Richie an endangerment charge has not been filed, but the Laguna Beach P.D. is “actively investigating.”
