On March 26th, Richie Sambora caught the eye of the Laguna Beach police department just before 11:00 PM. He was observed driving erratically in a black Hummer and pulled over. He failed numerous field sobriety tests and was detained for DUI. Eventually it would be revealed that he had a .13 BAL, well over the .08 legal limit. The most awesome part of course was that his 10-year-old daughter was in the car with him at the time. Luckily for him, he did all this in California, where prosecutors do absolutely nothing. TMZ says…
TMZ has learned Richie Sambora just plea bargained his DUI case. He pled no contest to driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher. The driving under the influence charge was dismissed. And, prosecutors did NOT file child endangerment charges.Although the brass at the Laguna Beach Police Dept. recommended that prosecutors file child endangerment charges, we're told the rank and file cops felt the evidence didn't support the charge. Prosecutors agreed.
Umm … really? Driving drunk with a kid in the car doesn't equal "child endangerment"? Was the kid wrapped in bubble wrap and pillows and floating on a cloud, or is it maybe that the cops and prosecutors in California are star fuckers who do absolutely nothing. Golly, I wonder which one it is. At this point, Miley Cyrus could sell enriched plutonium to Al Qaeda and at best, she’d have to do a PSA about some seeing some cute guy at a party and then he smokes and now he's gross. Either that or something where she reveals that playing by the rules makes everyone a winner.
