Pete Doherty In
New Drugs Arrest
Babyshambles
lead singer Pete Doherty has been arrested
on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs,
just days after pleading guilty in court
to possessing heroin and cocaine, police
said.
The
26-year-old, best known for an on-off
relationship with supermodel
Kate
Moss,
was stopped by police early on Saturday
and arrested for alleged possession of
class A and class C drugs.
He was
also suspected of driving under the
influence of illicit drugs, and has been
bailed to appear at a north London police
station on February 2, 2006 "pending
analysis of substances" found, a police
spokeswoman added.
The
troubled rocker pleaded guilty to
possessing heroin and cocaine, and is due
to reappear in court on February 8,
2006.
Doherty,
who shot to fame as lead singer of The
Libertines, has been in the headlines
since Moss was filmed last year apparently
snorting cocaine, prompting several
fashion labels to sever ties with the
supermodel.
Police
have urged Moss to return from the United
States to answer questions related to the
cocaine scandal, and expect to make
arrests soon of other suspects in the
case.
Media
reports say Doherty and Moss have split
up.
