Just the one, though, so he's not happily skipping through the streets of London as you read this, so don't worry.
Yep, Pete Doherty has had one of the current charges against him dropped due to lack of evidence. It's the charge of driving under the influence of drugs, and related to that previously reported arrest on 18 Dec last year, when he was stopped by police whilst driving a blue Vauxhall at 9.20am in the morning.
According to the prosecution, four passengers fled the scene (splitters) leaving poor old Doherty, of course, left to be searched by officers. He was then taken to Stoke Newington police station where he was questioned for six hours. The charge was dropped because there was insufficient evidence to prove that it was definitely Doherty who was actually driving the car. And let's face it, he probably couldn't remember.
Prosecutor Mark Tavender told the court: "This is an allegation of driving while unfit. The Crown believes there is not sufficient evidence to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Doherty was driving. The vehicle had four passengers, they all decamped from the vehicle. The keys found on Mr Doherty did not fit the vehicle in question."
Doherty, unsurprisingly, did not make the hearing, although surprisingly, on this occasion it was not his fault. An administrative error meant that he was not brought to the court for the proceedings, but left in his cell at Pentonville, where he is on remand awaiting sentencing on 8 Feb. Let's hope the judge in that case doesn't hear the rumours that Doherty gave him the finger whilst in court last week. It's reported that the singer employed the use of a middle-finger-gesture when judge Steven Hawson wasn't looking, shortly after refusing Doherty's bail request. Dear dear.
