Rocker’s drug woes continue
Pete Doherty, the sometime boyfriend of Kate Moss, was jailed in London on Friday after pleading guilty to possessing drugs for the second time in a week.
The 26-year-old singer was arrested in east London on Thursday by officers who thought he looked “disheveled and suspicious,” prosecutors said. He pleaded guilty to heroin possession at Thames Magistrates’ Court and was ordered jailed until a hearing on Feb. 8.
Doherty’s band, Babyshambles, had been due to perform in Glasgow on Friday, Bristol on Saturday and London on Sunday.
It is the latest in a string of drug busts for the troubled singer. Doherty appeared at the same court a week ago and admitted to possessing heroin, crack cocaine, morphine and marijuana. He was freed on bail, just as he was after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine and heroin following a Nov. 30 arrest.
