Doherty charged for druggy something

Pete Doherty was arrested at Geneva airport after a BA official reported a suspected drug user in a plane toilet, and he paid a fine and was allowed to go.

Ah, this is making me feel all kind of nostalgic. Pete Doherty was arrested for mile-high drug usage in Switzerland on Friday. The exact nature of the charge against the Babyshambles man isn't known, though he paid a fine and was allowed to go free.

Doherty was arrested at Geneva airport after a BA official alerted the Swiss authorities that he suspected a passenger was taking drugs in the plane's toilet. The singer was reportedly found slumped in a bathroom on the jet, and a hypodermic needle allegedly found near him was handed into police.

Commenting on the affair, a Geneva police spokesman told The Sun: "We were contacted by the captain of a BA flight and a passenger was controlled by police. He was charged, but I cannot say what with. He paid a fine and was allowed to go".
