Hours after Richie Sambora was charged with two misdemeanor counts of DUI, the Bon Jovi guitarist has plea bargained the case.

He plead no contest to a charge of driving with a blood alcohol level of .08 or higher, TMZ.com reports. (Sambora's blood alcohol level at the time of his arrest was reportedly .13.)

Another charge of driving under the influence was dropped, according to TMZ.

Sambora will pay around $1,600, including a $390 fine and penalties, TMZ reports.

The 48-year-old, who entered rehab – reportedly for alcoholism – last June, will be placed on three years "informal probation" and will be required to attend an alcohol education course, TMZ says.

Sambora avoided a charge of child endangerment, stemming from his March 25 arrest in Laguna Beach, California.

Sambora spent a night in jail after he was pulled over. Ava, his 10-year-old daughter with ex Heather Locklear, was in the car.
