Pete Doherty's been in trouble with the police again, and this time, it's not drug related - the Babyshambler was fined for littering after being seen dropping rubbish from a minicab window on Monday. The car was pulled over by officers in Harrogate, who asked the miscreant to prove his identity. An 'eyewitness' is quoted as saying: "He looked pretty sheepish, like he was embarrassed to get done for such yobbish antics. He scrabbled around in his pockets to find papers that could prove who he was. The policeman gave him a stern ticking-off, then issued him with the fine. It looked like he got a severe warning".
A police spokesperson confirmed that Doherty had been fined £100. And what was he doing in Harrogate, you ask? Well, he was apparently leaving a rehab clinic, less than twenty four hours after checking in. No surprises there then. According to some sources, he'll begin a new course of detox next week. He has to get it right this time, of course, or face the possibility of prison. Let's hope, for his sake, that he does. Get it right, not face prison.
