More About Richie Sambora’s DUI Case

Another story from Richie Sambora’s DUI Case. After ‘escaped’ from child endangerment charges, as reported by TMZ, Sambora pled no contest to driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher.

Sambora was reported had a .13 blood alcohol level, when he was caught last month. His 10-year-old daughter Ava was in the car at the time. Although the brass at the Laguna Beach Police Dept. recommended that prosecutors file child endangerment charges, but the rank and file cops felt the evidence didn’t support the charge, and prosecutors agreed.

An interesting fact, Sambora got one of the most effective criminal defense lawyers in America on his side — Blair Berk, who has repped scores of celebs, from Mel Gibson to Lindsay Lohan. The stars aligned in his favor, because both prosecutor, Dennis Conway, and Judge, Craig Robison, are considered pretty fair.

Sambora will pay a $390 fine plus penalties — total damage is around $1,600. He’ll be placed on three years informal probation and must attend an alcohol education course. He cannot drink or do drugs during his probation.

Richie Sambora should be very grateful this time, he got off easy! He better be not repeating it, because… the first time, he might just get a ‘little tap’ in the back, so don’t wait till it became a ‘push’ or a ‘fall’!
