When he was arrested, Richie had another adult passenger and two minors, including his 10-year old daughter, Ava in the car with him. He was later released on his own recognizance. Police initially recommended that Sambora be charged with child endangerment, but prosecutors later disagreed.
Sambora will be arraigned on May 7.
