When Bon Jovi lead guitarist Richie Sambora was arrested for DUI his BOC (Blood Alcohol Count) was .08 within the legal limit in Cal. So why was he weaving erratically, was it Drugs? Celeb Gossip Kings uncover the “Real Story”
BON Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora has been arrested on suspicion of drink-driving, he was pulled over with his girlfriend and 10-year-old daughter in the car.
Sambora, 48, was detained after being stopped in Laguna Beach, south of Los Angeles, overnight while at the wheel of his black Hummer, a police spokesman said. Sambora was driving the Hummer and was with his girlfriend, daughter Ava (whose mother is ex-wife Heather Locklear) and another unidentified juvenile girl.
The rock star failed a series of roadside sobriety tests after he was pulled over by police before undergoing a blood test, Laguna Beach police sergeant Jason Kravetz said. (No relation to Lenny Kravitz)
“He was very co-operative,” Sgt Kravetz said.
Sambora was released from jail today and must appear in court in Newport Beach on May 7 for a hearing, Sgt Kravetz said.
Sambora entered a treatment facility in June 2007. “I was just drinking too much and I needed to get my life together,” he said during a Today show appearance. “I’m still in therapy and stuff like that, but it’s good. I’m great. I feel fine.”

Sambora’s attorney Johnny Cockran has developed a very clever “Out” for the skid row guitarist. He plans to tell judge Lance Ito that Ritchie was merely “siphoning” some home brewed ethanol from a gallon jug into his Mercedes and “accidentally” swallowed some, of course making him fail the breatalyzer test. This “ploy” was used successfully by The famous 1st Brother Billy Carter in his DUI arrest in 1987.
