Richie Sambora Charged With DUI

Richie Sambora has been charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI, Usmagazine.com has confirmed.

The Bon Jovi guitarist, 48, avoided a charge of child endangerment, stemming from his March 25 arrest in Laguna Beach, California.

"We felt that in order to file additional counts — in this case, child endangerment — we would have needed additional aggravating circumstances," Farrah Emami, a spokesperson for the Orange County District Attorney's Office, tells Us. "The evidence did not support that."

Sambora spent a night in jail after he was pulled over. Ava, his 10-year-old daughter with ex Heather Locklear, was in the car.

The DUI counts are driving with a .08 or higher, and driving under the influence.

Sambora reportedly had a blood alcohol level of .13 and could face six months in jail.

TMZ.com first reported the news.

Last week, the Laguna Beach Police Department requested a charge of child endangerment.

Sambora is scheduled to appear in court on May 7. He entered rehab, reportedly for alcoholism, last June.
