Richie Sambora gets DUI while driving with his daughter

Celebrity DUI's are a dime a dozen, but Richie Sambora added a unique twist to his: by having his ten-year-old daughter in the car with him while he was drunk.

Police pulled over Sambora's Hummer for weaving in traffic and found three other passengers in the vehicle with the Bon Jovi guitarist: an adult female assumed to be his girlfriend, Sambora's daughter with ex-wife Heather Locklear, Ava, and another unidentified juvenile girl thought to be Ava's friend.

The Laguna Beach police department is conducting an investigation and Sambora be charged with child endangerment.

I can't even imagine how furious Heather Locklear and the mother of the other child must be right now. What is the proper way of handling a situation of this sort with an ex?

You think the adult passengers didn't know he was drinking / drugged? I'm pretty sure you'd notice if he's bad enough to be weaving in the traffic.

Didn't he just just get out of rehab not long ago? I think this would be my wakeup call that dad might need supervised or restricted visits. I feel very sad for all involved.

Richie,
This raincity fan this crying buckets for you! My heart aches for the pain life has dished out to you in the last few years. But man oh man, this is bad. You have the bucks to never let this happen by just hiring a driver. All celebs should use their brain a little and hire a driver and then the press would not have any reason to hunt you down. Hang in there your fans, true friends and family still love you.
