FlynetIf nothing else, Pete Doherty certainly knows how to bookend a week.
Just days after Babyshambles' ever shambolic frontman was fined by Swiss police for being intoxicated and in possession of a hypodermic needle on a recent flight, the rocker found himself back in police custody this morning after getting arrested on—surprise, surprise—suspicion of drug possession, among other indiscretions.
"At approximately 12:30 a.m. on June 11, officers on patrol in Eastgate Street, Gloucester saw a car being driven erratically," a police spokeswoman said.
Police arrested the 30-year-old Doherty on suspicion of drunken driving, possession of Class A drugs, driving without a license or insurance and dangerous driving after failing to stop for police.
Doherty and an unidentified female were arrested and taken for questioning to a police station in Gloucester, located in western England. The former Libertine had performed a solo show in the town earlier last night.
While the former Libertine was being questioned, police reportedly raided his nearby home; it's unknown what they were looking for or whether they found anything incriminating.
Police have remanded Doherty in custody and will not release him until he faces a judge.
The rocker is due to appear in Stroud Magistrates Court tomorrow morning.
His female companion was also arrested for drug possession but has since been released without charge.
