Pete Doherty
Arrested For Car Theft
Babyshambles
singer Pete
Doherty
has been arrested on suspicion of stealing
a car and possessing class A
drugs.
Mr
Doherty, 26, and two men from Dundee -
aged 18 and 19 - were detained by police
in Birmingham.
West
Midlands Police said three men were
arrested on suspicion of theft of a car,
reportedly stolen in London, and allegedly
possessing class A drugs.
A West
Midlands Police spokesman said all three
had been released on police bail "pending
further enquiries".
Mr
Doherty's band recently resumed a tour
which was rescheduled after the singer was
held in custody on drugs
charges.
Babyshambles
had to cancel dates in Bristol, Glasgow,
Newcastle and London following Mr
Doherty's arrest in January.
The
singer subsequently received a 12-month
community service order after pleading
guilty to seven charges of drug
possession.
Mr
Doherty was held in Pentonville Prison in
north London for 13 nights in January and
sentenced at Ealing Magistrates Court
earlier this month.
He was
ordered to attend a drug rehabilitation
programme and warned he could face prison
if he broke his community service
order.
He
subsequently vowed to "start a drug-free
life" and told Channel 4 News that he was
"not that much of a junkie
anyway".
