Nothing says "I love you" to your kid, more than driving while intoxicated, and then getting a DUI with her in the car.

Rocker Richie Sambora got pulled over last night while driving with 10 year old Ava, his daughter from his marriage with Heather Locklear.

Cops say they observed him driving erratically in a black Hummer and pulled him over. He failed numerous field sobriety tests and was detained for DUI.

At the station a cooperative Sambora opted to take a blood test rather than blow into a breathalyzer. Laguna Beach PD tells TMZ there's no indication of drugs.

Sambora was released around 4:00 AM this morning.

Sambora and Alec Baldwin can duke it out for Father of the Year.
