Richie Sambora May Face More Charges after DUI

Richie Sambora, popped for DUI in Laguna Beach, Calif., last month, may face an additional charge of child endangerment, Usmagazine.com reports. The Laguna Beach Police Department has requested the additional count because his 10-year-old daughter, Ava, was in the SUV when he was pulled over.

But TMZ.com reports that while Sambora's blood alcohol content may have been above the legal limit, some in the police department don't believe that he exhibited "dangerous conduct," which is crucial to making a child endangerment charge stick. They say he was stopped because his Hummer slipped out of its lane in which he was driving, but that may be because the SUV is just absurdly large.

The Orange County District Attorney's Office will have final say on what charges, if any, are lodged against the Bon Jovi guitarist.
