Jon Bon Jovi’s daughter is no longer wanted by the police. Misdemeanor charges stemming from her overdose on heroin have been dropped.

The reason? Stephanie Rose Bongiovi doesn’t face drug charges because of New York’s law regarding overdose cases where a call for help was placed. According to police, the rocker’s daughter and her friend Ian S. Grant, who are both students at Hamilton College in New York, were charged with drug possession charges when police found a small amount of heroin and marijuana in Stephanie’s dorm room. However…

The misdemeanor charges against both students were dropped on Thursday because of a 2011 amendment to the New York penal code. The “Good Samaritan” section of the law exempts people from drug charges if they attempt to get help for a “drug or alcohol overdose or other life threatening emergency,” according to People magazine. Which is what happened in Stephanie’s case.

“By law, they have immunity. I can’t prosecute them even if I wanted to,” said Oneida County District Attorney Scott D. McNamara. “To proceed would be highly inappropriate and highly unethical, and would jeopardize my opportunity to practice in the future.”

Stephanie was hospitalized early Wednesday. It is so sad to see this young girl struggling with these kinds of mistakes. But she was lucky this time. Hopefully she has learned her lesson and there won’t be a next time. How crushing for Jon Bon Jovi – who is at heart a family man – to watch his only daughter put her life in danger just to get high. Here’s hoping that he is able to help his daughter find a better foothold in her life – without drugs.
