The daughter of Jon Bon Jovi is reportedly facing drug charges after allegedly overdosing on heroin at Hamilton College.
Stephanie Rose Bongiovi, 19, was arrested in Upstate New York early this morning, reports WKTV. The Town of Kirkland Police Department told the local news station that officers responded to the Dunham Dorm around 1:51 a.m. this morning to assist medical personnel with a report of a female who had allegedly overdosed on heroin and was unresponsive.
After a search a drug task force found a small quantity of heroin along with marijuana and drug paraphernalia.
Stephanie was arrested for possession of a controlled substance, possession of marijuana and criminally using drug paraphernalia, all misdemeanors. She was eventually released from custody and ordered to appear in court at a later date.
Kirkland Police said two students from the college were arrested. Ian S. Grant, 21, of Red Bank, New Jersey, was charged with seventh-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.
Hamilton College released a statement to WKTV: “In addition to violating state law, the actions alleged to have been committed by the students violate Hamilton College policy. The college is cooperating with the police investigation. Our first concern is always for the safety of our students. Out of respect for the privacy of our students and in accordance with federal regulations we do not discuss individual health or disciplinary matters.”
Stephanie is the rock star’s only daughter and the oldest of his four children with wife Dorothea Hurley.
