New York –Jon Bon Jovi’s daughter will not face criminal charges for using heroin. Stephanie Bongiovi, 19, almost overdosed on heroin in a dorm room at Hamilton College in upstate New York. A friend of Stephanie, Ian Grant, 21, called 911. Bongiovi was unresponsive when paramedics arrived at Dunham Hall dorm around 2:00 a.m. She was rushed to the hospital. Investigators found heroin, marijuana, and glassine envelopes in the dorm room after they obtained a search warrant. Bongiovi was charged with misdemeanor possession of heroin, misdemeanor marijuana possession, and criminally using drug paraphernalia. Grant was also charged with misdemeanor drug possession. But, the charges will be dropped. A new law was passed, the Good Samaritan drug law, preventing those who call 911 in a drug overdose to be charged. Someone might not call because they are afraid of going to jail. The two students do not have to obey a ticket ordering them to appear in court on Dec. 4. If you have been charged with a drug crime, contact a Clinton drug charges attorney to defend your rights.
