Jeez, how many chances does this guy get and he squanders every one of them. He needs jail time.

Pete Doherty arrested for taking drugs into court moments after avoiding prison sentence for drink-driving

21st December 2009

Rock singer Pete Doherty was arrested in a courthouse today moments after he was spared jail with a fine for driving offences. Police seized the 30-year-old Babshambles singer in the corridors at Gloucester Crown Court, where he was appearing on drink-drive and careless driving charges.

But moments after avoiding a jail term - he was ordered to pay £2,050 in fines and banned from driving for 18 months - officers pounced and escorted him down the court steps to the police station across the road.

The police later confirmed he had been arrested on suspicion of possessing a controlled drug - which he is believed to have dropped as he checked in at security. The bedraggled musician looked messy and appeared to have ripped his trousers.

Minutes before the dramatic scene the court heard Kate Moss's former lover admit to careless driving on June 11 this year after playing a well-received gig to 300 fans at Guildhall. He also admitted to drink driving that night, having given a reading of 50mg of alcohol per 100ml of breath.

Prosecutor Sarah Regan said the careless driving charge related to an 'erratic, sharp turn'. After a pursuit, Doherty stopped the Mercedes and swapped seats with passenger Daisy Whitbread in an apparent attempt to avoid punishment.

The songwriter had already been disqualified from driving in 2007 and had not renewed his licence, the court heard.

Officers found one wrap of heroin in the car, worth up to £35, and what was described as 'home-made crack pipe' on the driver's seat. A search of Doherty's country home in Durley, near Marlborough, Wiltshire, uncovered a further 15 wraps worth around £350.

Ms Regan said Doherty claimed to have offered to drive instead of his female companion who felt she was not fit to take the wheel. She added: 'Mr Doherty was pulled from the door and arrested. It was noted that he was extremely unsteady on his feet, his eyes were glazed and he smelt very strongly of alcohol, causing the officer to form the view he was drunk.'

Ms Regan said Doherty had been driven to the gig by his manager but 'as he came out of the back of Guildhall where the car was waiting, there were lots of people waiting - including a number of photographers.'

'Not wanting to be photographed with Ms Whitbread, Mr Doherty said that he just drove off as fast as he could. He saw the flashing lights of the police car behind him but didn't think that they were for him. During the gig he said that he had been provided with half a bottle of rum when he went on stage and that it was probably empty when the gig finished. However, although he admitted that he had probably had enough to drink to make him over the limit, he didn't think it would impair him in any way.'

Doherty had earlier admitted to two counts of drugs possession, driving without a licence and without insurance, as part of the same episode.

The judge was waiting until today's pleas were entered before dealing with all the offences together.

The court heard Doherty had 21 previous drug offences and six previous motoring offences. He had no convictions for drink driving. Doherty's defence barrister Peter Ratliff asked for a financial penalty, which Judge Martin Picton said was 'proportionate to the offence'.

A Gloucestershire Constabulary spokeswoman said: '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.'

Pete Doherty may face charges

(UKPA) – Dec 22, 2009

Pete Doherty could be charged with offences linked to a hit-and-run which left a man in a critical condition, sources close to the investigation said.

The rocker's manager Andrew Boyd, 42, of north London, has already appeared in court charged with a number of offences relating to the incident in Hadleigh, Suffolk, in September which left a man in a critical condition.

A Suffolk police spokeswoman said: "A man has today been reported for consideration of prosecution for permitting the use of a vehicle without insurance and failing to register a motor vehicle with the DVLA, following a road traffic collision on Sunday 27 September 2009 in Hadleigh.

Holy crap, I totally did not know Pete's reckless driving actually landed someone in the hospital.

No, Atropine, Peter's manager was driving the car. Peter was the legal owner of the car, that is why he could potentially be fined. He wasn't even in the car at the time, however.
