Clinton, N.Y. (AP) – An Oneida County attorney says drug charges against Jon Bon Jovi's 19-year-old daughter have been dropped.
Stephanie Bongiovi was found unresponsive by medics after she apparently overdosed on heroin in a Hamilton College dorm early Wednesday.
Town of Kirkland police charged Bongiovi, of Red Bank, N.J., and another student with possession of a small amount of heroin and marijuana.
Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara said Thursday he was dismissing the charges against both students.
Under state law, someone having a drug overdose or seeking help for an overdose victim can't be prosecuted for having a small amount of heroin or any amount of marijuana.
Bon Jovi is scheduled to perform a concert to benefit Hamilton on December 5. He has not commented on his daughter.
