Richie Sambora busted for DUI

March 26 2008

Richie SamboraBon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora was arrested for DUI in Laguna Beach, CA Tuesday night.

Citing Law enforcement sources, TMZ says that Sambora -- who checked into rehab twice last year -- was observed by cops driving erratically in a black Hummer and was pulled 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 breathalyser.

Laguna Beach PD Sgt. Jason Kravetz said: "At this point there's no indication of drugs."

There was a female passenger in the car at the time of the arrest. Sambora was released around 4:00 AM this morning.

Last year, the 48-year-old rocker entered Utah's Cirque Lodge center at the same time as starlet Lindsay Lohan to help battle his addiction to booze.

He said he needed help after a string of problems in his life including his divorce from Heather Locklear all became too much.

Sambora told People magazine: "I got divorced from Heather Locklear, I was going through a custody battle, I was having alcohol addiction problems, my dad was dying "It was a gang tackle from hell, basically. And crawling out of that wreckage was a very triumphant victory."
