Doherty's Not So Swede Reception
Looks like that latest rehab didn't take.
Just a week after announcing to the world he was going to give sobriety another go (which came less than a week after a near bust at 10,000 feet), Pete Doherty was arrested by Swedish police and found to have traces of cocaine and a tranquilizer in his bloodstream.
The Babyshambles frontman was detained by Swedish officials Saturday after his band performed at the country's annual Hultsfred Music Festival. The authorities cited Doherty's typical unruly behavior as triggering the arrest.
According to Britain's Sunday Mirror, the 27-year-old once again popped up on local law enforcement's radar after refusing to take his seat and arguing with flight attendants en route to the music festival.
"He showed signs of being under the influence of narcotics," Ulf Karlsson, a Swedish police spokesman, said Saturday.
The rocker was taken into police custody upon arrival in Sweden and, according to both pictures and reports in London's Sun, was carted off the plane in a wheelchair, while still in a "drug-fuelled high."
The accommodating police held Doherty long enough to administer a blood test but allowed him to perform at the festival while they awaited the results.
Karlsson said that cocaine and the mild tranquilizer benzodiazepine were found in the musician's bloodstream; Doherty claimed to have a prescription for the latter drug.
Doherty was fined roughly $1,900, but, in what's become a somewhat distressing disciplinary pattern, was released and will face no additional charges as he was not physically in possession of any illegal drugs.
The latest legal run-in falls on the heels of Doherty's lawyer's courtroom announcement June 9 that his client had voluntarily admitted himself into an unspecified rehab clinic in Portugal rehab. It was the rocker's fourth attempt at cleaning up his act.
The week before he entered rehab, Doherty was detained aboard a Barcelona-bound flight after a bloody syringe was found in the airplane's bathroom and Doherty's amped-up demeanor led the flight crew to finger him as the culprit.
However, despite the disruption to his fellow passengers, Spanish authorities released Doherty without charge after several hours due to lack of physical evidence..
There was no immediate indication if the Sweden transgression will affect his legal status in England, where he remains on probation for a litany of drug-related violations.
Doherty's next court-ordered progress report is scheduled to take place in London July 13.
