Richie Sambora’s 10-year-old daughter Ava was in the car at the time of his DUI arrest Tuesday night. Laguna Beach Sgt. Jason Kravetz said:

"There were three females in the car, two of them were juveniles."

Kravetz says the results of Sambora’s blood tests will be revealed in about a week. Sambora will appear in court May 7.

Sambora could be criminally charged with child endangerment, which would directly affect his child visitation. No wonder his ex wife Heather Locklear told her psychiatrist she wanted to kill herself. Police sources say, after Sambora was busted, the cops called Heather Locklear, Ava’s mom. Heather then authorized the adult woman in the car to drive her daughter home.

Heather Locklear was visited by Ventura County Fire Department and two paramedics at her Thousand Oaks home last night, after someone called 911 claiming Heather was suicidal. When paramedics arrived they discovered there was "no problem," and left about ten minutes later. The person who made the call was not at Heather’s home, and may have made the call from somewhere else.

Heather’s rep issued the following statement:

"I spoke with Heather and she is fine. She never requested medical assistance and did not place a 911 call. Nor did anyone from her house call 911 or place a call requesting medical assistance."

Police have gathered at the donut shop to come up with a plan to catch the prank caller.

Let’s just assume that’s a euphemism.  How trendy!

After his break up with Denise Richards a few months ago, Richie Sambora news has dwindled.  We hadn’t really missed the beach photos and outdoor cafe smoochy photo ops.  Go figure.

Tongues began wagging after Sambora appeared quite out of it during the taping of an episode of MTV’s Unplugged Tuesday.

Now comes news from People that he’s entered rehab a treatment facility.  Apparently, Sambora hasn’t been doing so well.

"Richie has had a terrible year," a close friend of the musician tells PEOPLE. "I think this was a culmination of all these things and finally he realized he needed to take care of himself. He’d put off everything for so long taking care of everyone else it was just time to stop and deal with his issues."

We really hate to be insensitive at such a trying time, but are we the only ones who saw this coming from a mile away? Look at that picture above.  It’s only about two years old, but Richie looks a decade younger than he has of late.

He has been through a lot; the divorce from the super hot Heather Locklear is just part of it.  Regardless of what the "condition" that led him to treatment turns out to be, let’s hope he gets really good care.

Heather Locklear (45) was recently spotted sharing an intimate dinner with Christina Applegate’s ex-husband, actor Johnathan Schaech (37) at Mastro’s Steakhouse in Thousand Oaks, California.

“She really likes him,” says a Locklear pal of the actor (his divorce with Applegate is almost finalized). “It’s still in that fun, getting-to-know-each-other stage.”

But the divorcée should tread carefully. On December 9th, a witness saw Schaech at the Maxim/Skyy Vodka party in L.A. “acting single.”
