"The Insider" confirms that BON JOVI guitarist RICHIE SAMBORA was arrested Tuesday night by Laguna Beach police on suspicion of driving under the influence.

According to the LB police, Sambora was pulled over in a black Hummer at 10:52 p.m after he was allegedly seen weaving within traffic lanes. An officer smelled alcohol, conducted several sobriety tests and concluded that the musician was under the influence. Sambora declined to take a breathalyzer test so was taken to the station where he agreed to give a blood sample -- results are pending.  He is due in Harbor Municipal court May 7. There was also a female passenger with Sambora at the time of his arrest who police turned the car over to.

KEN SUNSHINE, a spokesperson for Bon Jovi, has no comment.

Sambora recently pulled a stint at Utah's Cirque Lodge in September.
