Richie Off the Wagon -- Popped For DUI
Posted Mar 26th 2008 12:44PM by TMZ Staff

TMZ has learned Richie Sambora was arrested for DUI in Laguna Beach, Calif.

Law enforcement sources tell us the Bon Jovi guitarist was pulled over by the Laguna Beach PD just before 11:00 PM last night. Cops say they observed him driving erratically in a black Hummer and pulled him over. He failed numerous field sobriety tests and was detained for DUI.

At the station Sambora opted to take a blood test rather than blow into a breathalyzer. Laguna Beach PD tells TMZ there's no indication of drugs.

There was a female passenger in the car at the time of the arrest, but, we're told, "she's not a celebrity." Sambora was released around 4:00 AM this morning.

I first read it that he was getting a "hummer" and that's why his driving was erratic. He probably should have taken some time before going back on the road so fast after rehab. He must be in pretty rough shape and still in denial. Maybe this is the real cause of his breakup with Heather and reason for his going from a TJHooker gal to an allegedly ex-upscale Hooker.

Oh,Richie...

You've broken my Jersey heart.Drunk driving

**buttmunch** · March 26th, 2008, 12:44 PM

I'm surprised he's not being called a scumbag whore for this. Anyway, notice how the female passenger was duly noted to not be a celeb and therefore deemed to be of absolutely zero interest?

**mrs.v** · March 26th, 2008, 12:48 PM

Oh,he is a scumbag for this.And I've been a Jovi fan since I was 12 (Gimme a break,I'm from Jersey,fuck all of yous

).

Drunk driving is unforgivable.And it is funny about the girl.Guess she took the bus home.

Richie Sambora's Daughter Ava in Car at Time of DUI
Wednesday March 26, 2008

Richie Sambora's 10-year-old daughter Ava was in the car at the time of his DUI arrest Tuesday night, a law enforcement official tells Usmagazine.com.
Police would not confirm Ava's identity, as the incident is still under investigation. Ava's mother is Heather Locklear.
Sambora's rep would not comment when contacted by Us.
"There were three females in the car, two of them were juveniles," Laguna Beach Sgt. Jason Kravetz tells Us.
Kravetz says Sambora, 48, was stopped at around 10:52 p.m. Tuesday for swerving on the road in Laguna Beach, California. His breath smelled of alcohol, Kravetz says.
Kravetz says Sambora conducted "a series of sobriety tests" at the side of the Pacific Coast Highway. "The officer formed the opinion that Mr. Sambora had been operating his vehicle under the influence of alcohol," Kravetz says.
Kravetz says the results of Sambora's blood tests will be revealed in about a week.
The Bon Jovi guitarist was released from jail at 4 a.m. Tuesday.
He will appear in court May 7.
TMZ.com first reported the news of his arrest.
Sambora — who split with split with Denise Richards last year — entered rehab, reportedly for alcoholism, last June. His divorce from Heather Locklear was finalized in April 2007.

That fucking scumbag should do jail time for driving drunk with his daughter in the car.
Geesh, their poor kids! The mother has mental issues and the father is an alcoholic. That just screams stability.
