Pete Doherty Arrested For Drunk Driving And Drugs

LONDON — British police charged singer Pete Doherty with drunk driving, drug possession and driving without a valid license or insurance Thursday.

The Gloucestershire Constabulary said officers arrested a 30-year-old man early Thursday after spotting a car driving erratically in Gloucester, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) west of London.

A police official speaking on condition of anonymity in line with departmental policy confirmed the man was Doherty, who played a concert in Gloucester on Wednesday.

Doherty's manager Andy Boyd confirmed Doherty was in police custody and was due to appear in court Friday. He said he had no other details.

A 30-year-old woman was also detained but was later released without charge.

Doherty, a lead singer of Babyshambles and former boyfriend of model Kate Moss, has a long history of drug use.

What a waster.

Sad. I always have a soft spot for an ex-hustler.

I do not know his music at all- therefore I can't comment- though being a person who is around small children- people like him are a threat to society with negligent acts- Car Wrecks when they occur can't be undone.

Him and Amy Winehouse should hook up....

I hate to say this but, unless there are drastic changes in their lives, Pete Doherty & Amy Winehouse are not long for this world.
