Drug Charges Dropped Against Jon Bon Jovi's Daughter

The District Attorney responsible for prosecuting the heroin and pot possession case of Jon Bon Jovi's daughter Stephanie, has dropped the charges against them. Because of an amendment to the penal code that was enacted back in 2011, anyone who calls for help because of a drug or alcohol emergency can't be prosecuted if police find a small amount of drugs in their possession. It is to encourage people to call and get help rather than be scared of getting help because they will end up in jail. Her boyfriend, who had also been charged, called police because Stephanie had overdosed on heroin. She was alive in her dorm room when paramedics arrived and was rushed to the hospital, where she remained as of yesterday.

  1. I get the idea, but why not order mandatory rehab instead of jail?

    @mynerva - I'm kind of wondering the same thing. Other than another OD, what's to deter someone from continuing to use??

  6. Hopfully this near death experience scares her straight and there is no lasting damage from the OD.

  17. Happy Birthday Dia, glad you shook it off-hope you know what I mean...

    Amber-I'm decompressing after one hellish week at work (had to handle an almost school shutdown crisis at today and my collegue up and left...got to learn a lot about generators and fuel though :/)

    After decompression, re-establish good mama status with my DD.

    No wine for me-gotta get my Zen on, but drink a glass for me, yeah?

    p.s you guys ARE my decompression, so thank you! Carry on...

  19. Aww, dia, your birthday is my half-birthday! Heheheh. Get started on the party NOW! :-)

    I like Amber's day except for the "gym" part. ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  20. @Dee, that is an awesome idea, I just might try it next year :)

    ReplyDelete
  21. Oh no, Dee! I'm sorry :/

    As much as I don't think the gym part sounds good either, and would MUCH rather start celebrating Miss Dia's bday, I'm rehabbing my stupid knee again so I gotta go. I will most definitely be indulging for those of you that can't tonight :)

  22. Thanks for all the birthday wishes! I'm ready for a great party :)

    I believe in Birthday Month too, but my BF is also a November baby. So he gets first half of the month and I get the second half.

    Drinks all around! Fruity Papaya Dee-light! I believe cocktails are starting at 4pm PST.

    Dee - sorry about your week. Glad you made it through in one piece! Get your OM on and decompress!

    Amber - sorry about your knee :) Acupuncture really really helps. I just helped someone not have surgery (he was also getting massage and personal training to strengthen, but avoided surgery!)

  23. Off to work! Everyone stay safe, stay happy, and smile cuz it's FRIDAY!

    ReplyDelete
  24. @mynerva, agreed! Heroin is not something you can just stop (at least most of the time) if you are far enough along to od (well, unless it's your first time using) you need some help. Trust.

  25. Happy birthday Dia and happy Friday all!

    I sincerely hope they get her into treatment and away from that environment so she has a fighting chance.

  26. back to the heroin..

    mandatory rehab is a waste of fucking money if the addict doesn't want to get help. how are we still wondering these things in 2012?

    addiction is NOT a choice.

    ReplyDelete
  27. jax is absolutely correct in that mandatory rehab would be nothing more than a waste of money if the addict doesn't want help.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Agreed Jax and WBotW but I guess society feels they want to do something to help or else what is the alternative?

  30. OT Update: Thank you dia and Amber. Just had a monumental breakthrough with my DD making this A Fuckin AWESOME Day. I love life!!

    Oops, forgot this was a Heroin thread...well it was helpful in anyway! xx

  31. Of course all charges are dropped. She's a celebrity...or child of a celebrity actually. Same thing. Hollywood ALWAYS gets just a little slap on the wrist for bad behavior. I'm sure her roommate though, who was also involved and a non-celeb will be in courts for years to come and have to serve a 10 year jail sentence and have to go to rehab.

    1. No, he free under same law. Its called ' the good samartian law', so addicts arent afraid to call for help for fear of arrest.

  32. Wasn't there a blind a while back about a rock star or musician who led a normal family life free of drama but had a child with a recent drug problem? Someone please help recall this blind. I think the guesses were Ritchie Samboras daughter, etc.
