Pete Doherty was back in court again today to answer three sets of drugs charges relating to three arrests, two those previously reported arrests from last April, the third a brand new set of charges relating to an incident on 7 Aug when he was stopped in Whitechapel and apparently found to be in possession of cocaine.
The Babyshambler was officially charged yesterday when he "answered bail" at an East London police station, and he spent the night in custody awaiting today's court hearing. At that hearing the judge agreed to bail Doherty again, on the condition he stay at rehab clinic The Priory for the immediate future. However, he is still to be properly sentenced for the latest drugs charges - that will happen on 4 Sep - and the judge has apparently refused to rule out the possibility of passing a custodial sentence on that date.
