No
Action After Pete
Doherty
Arrest
Police
arrested
Pete
Doherty
with two other men on
Saturday.
Police
will take no further
action against Pete
Doherty after the rock
star's latest arrest,
Scotland Yard said.
The
Babyshambles frontman
and two other men were
arrested in Hackney,
east London, on
Saturday, but Doherty
and one of the men were
later released without
charge, a police
spokesman said.
He
added that Doherty and
the other released man
had not been held
overnight, and that
there would be no
further action taken
against them.
The
third man arrested was
named as Redouane Aalit,
35, who is unemployed
and lives in Hackney.
He
has been charged with
failing to stop for
police, driving without
due care and attention
and not having a test
certificate, insurance
or driving licence.
Aalit
will appear at Thames
Magistrates' Court on
Monday, the spokesman
said.
Pete
Doherty's latest brush
with the law came as the
BBC said that he is
banned from appearing on
its children's
television programmes.
A
spokeswoman said: "Pete
Doherty is well known
for his drug-taking and
criminal behaviour. As
such, he is currently
not an appropriate guest
for CBBC."
She
said that the singer is
not deemed suitable for
shows made for seven to
10-year-olds, ruling out
programmes including the
Saturday music show TMi
and Blue Peter.
But
she added that it was
not a blanket ban across
the network, and
editorial judgements
should be made with the
target audience in
mind.
