File under least shocking news of the year: Pete Doherty arrested for drugs...again

**buttmunch** · May 7th, 2007, 09:47 AM

AP) Pete Doherty was arrested this weekend on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs, a published report said Monday.

Metropolitan Police declined to directly confirm the report in The Sun newspaper, but said a 28-year-old man was arrested Saturday night in London on suspicion of drug possession. He was released on bail pending investigation and was ordered to return to a police station next month.

Doherty, frontman for Babyshambles and formerly co-leader of The Libertines, has been undergoing drug rehabilitation under court supervision following a number of arrests for possession of drugs, including cocaine and heroin.

At a court appearance April 18, the rocker said people close to him were insisting that he kick his addiction.

"The people I'm closest to have had enough. They've said it's drugs or them," he said.

Quelle surprise.

**Grimmlok** · May 7th, 2007, 09:59 AM

So will these people be not hanging around him anymore?

Pfft. Not likely.

Btw, how many times does it take to get thrown in jail in Britain?

**sputnik** · May 7th, 2007, 10:03 AM

i wonder why they even bother arresting him anymore?

^I was thinking the same thing. It's disgusting. All these privileged babies. His father being a military ranked officer is definitely the reason. Plus the PR it generates so the tabs and rags can make money. When I get outraged, I boycott web links and spending money on newspapers and other media.

How does Kate manage to never get caught? Does Pete carry her stash?

I would too.
Maybe Paris should try to get in contact with his attorney. He seems to be the man.

what i meant was, what's the point of arresting him if he's not going to get clean anyway? just let him be a druggie. as long as he's not operating any heavy machinery but since i read somewhere else this ass was driving around high then i guess they were right to arrest him.

If that's the case, he should be arrested on a daily basis.

**Sweetie** · May 7th, 2007, 01:07 PM

He should have been sentenced as a Habitual felon already. I wonder if they have that over there? Anyone know.

Suspicion? WTF?

I bet he will not spend one hour behind bars. The only things that will stop him are: a) every narcotic substance in the world suddenly vanishes, b) he is tied down and not allowed to do anything, c) an OD.
