Richie Sambora might be charged with child endangerment

You might have heard that Richie Sambora was arrested on a DUI charge on March 25th? He’d quit drinking for some time but had apparently taken a few drinks that afternoon.

Well, police have now recommended that prosecutors charge him with child endangerment as he was driving with his daughter at the time of his arrest.

He hasn’t been formerly charged as of yet, but if he is charged a jail sentence is likely. He might be able to plea to a lesser offense such as going to rehab instead of jail.

Over the weekend Sambora was spotted in Las Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. He was only seen drinking water.

A tentative arraignment date is set for May 7th.
