- Source: BBC News Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora has been sentenced to three years' probation after admitting to driving under the influence of alcohol. The 48-year-old pleaded no contest, prompting the judge in Santa Ana, California to drop a second charge. Sambora, who was not at the court hearing, will also have to attend first offender alcohol awareness classes. He was arrested on 25 March in Laguna Beach after his car was seen weaving between traffic lanes. Insufficient evidence Sambora is forbidden from having any measurable quantity of alcohol in his system while driving as a condition of his probation. A woman and two children were travelling with the musician at the time, leading police to ask a charge of child endangerment to be brought against Sambora. But prosecutors said they had insufficient evidence to proceed. The two children were released to the woman's custody after Sambora's arrest. The musician co-founded Bon Jovi in 1983, along with frontman Jon Bon Jovi, keyboardist David Bryan, bassist Alec John Such, and drummer Tico Torres. Their hit albums include Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, and Keep the Faith. The group released their latest album, Lost Highway, in 2007.www.free-voipservice.net
