Pete Doherty Arrested After Leaving Court




Pete Doherty Arrested After Leaving Court

Looks like Pete Doherty is in trouble with the law again. The 30-year-old Babyshambles singer was arrested just moments after he left a court hearing today, on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance. A spokeswoman for Gloucestershire Constabulary confirmed: “A 30-year-old Wiltshire man has been arrested on suspicion of being in possession of a controlled substance. He is currently assisting police with their inquiries.”

It has not been revealed what substance he was believed to have been in possession of when he was arrested.

Earlier, Pete had pleaded guilty to careless and drink driving charges and received a £2,050 ($3300) fine and an 18-month driving ban, despite having already been banned from driving in 2007 and never renewing his license. The charges related to an arrest in June, when he was caught driving away from a concert after consuming more than half a bottle of rum on stage.

The court heard the rocker had 21 previous drug offenses and six previous motoring offenses. He had no convictions for driving.
