Babyshambles lead singer Pete Doherty has been arrested on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs, just days after pleading guilty in a London court to possessing heroin and cocaine, police said today (Jan. 16).
The 26-year-old artist, who has been in the headlines lately for his on-off relationship with British 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 Feb. 2 “pending analysis of substances” found, a police spokesperson added.
Last Wednesday, the troubled rocker pleaded guilty to possessing heroin and cocaine, and is due to reappear in court on Feb. 8 on that charge.
