Doherty not arrested

Three Babyshambles members were reportedly arrested in Lewisham after erratic driving, while frontman Pete Doherty was not in the car. Walden faces a drink-driving charge.

According to The Sun, the three other members of Babyshambles that aren't Pete Doherty - namely Patrick Walden, Adam Ficek and Drew McConnell - were arrested on Monday when they were pulled over by police in the Lewisham area of London after they were seen driving erratically. All three were apparently taken to a nearby station and Walden was charged with drink driving, whilst Ficek and McConnell may also face charges. Doherty was nowhere near the car, which is not that surprising, as it was in unfashionable south London at the time.

Lewisham resident Caro Moses told CMU: "I'm shocked. You just don't expect that sort of thing to happen around here. Oh, no. Hang on a minute. Yes, you do."
