Doherty arrested over car theft

Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty has been arrested by Birmingham police on suspicion of car theft and possessing Class A drugs, and released on bail pending enquiries.

We've already once suggested that Pete Doherty be sectioned for his own good. And the fact that he has been arrested - yet again - this time on suspicion of car theft and possessing Class A drugs, can only strengthen such suggestions - Doherty is surely a danger to himself.

Anyway, the Babyshambles frontman was detained by Birmingham police on Monday night, along with two other men - aged 18 and 19 - from Dundee. A spokesman for West Midlands Police said that the three individuals had been released on bail, pending further enquiries.

Not sure this bodes altogether well for Mr Doherty who, of course, recently received a 12 month community sentence over similar charges, and was warned that he could face prison if he broke that service order. As you will remember, following sentencing, Doherty vowed to start a "drug-free life". If the Class A charge stands, it would seem his new drug free lifestyle has not lasted very long.
