Sambora was popped for DUI last month. His 10-year-old daughter Ava was in the car at the time. We're told Sambora had a .13 blood alcohol level. 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.

Sambora will pay a $390 file plus penalties -- total damage is around $1,600. He'll be placed on three years informal probation and must attend an alcohol education course. - more on this story
