Jon Bon Jovi’s daughter arrested after possible heroin overdose

Stephanie Bongiovi, Jon Bon Jovi’s daughter, was arrested early Wednesday and is facing drug charges after a suspected heroin overdose in her upstate New York college dorm room.

Authorities were called to Hamilton College just before 2 a.m. on a report that a woman had possibly overdosed and was unresponsive, police told the Utica Observer-Dispatch.

After a small quantity of heroin was found by police on the scene, a search warrant was executed and heroin, marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found, police told the newspaper.

She and fellow Hamilton student Ian Grant, 21, who was also arrested, face misdemeanor charges of criminal possession of a controlled substance.
