Hello? Is it 2005? Earlier this week Pete Doherty was arrested for allegedly taking drugs on a flight to Geneva, and yesterday morning he was arrested in Gloucester and charged with drink driving and possession of class A drugs. Police apparently spotted Doherty driving erratically in the early hours of Thursday morning after leaving the city's Guildhall venue, where he had been playing a solo gig.
In a statement, police said: "At approximately 12.30am officers on patrol in Eastgate Street saw a car being driven erratically, it continued down Barton Street and was stopped in Derby Road. A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, possession of drugs and failure to stop for police, he remains in custody at this time".
As a result, Doherty's show at the Rockhouse in Derby last night was cancelled. The show is planned to be rescheduled and all tickets for the original date will remain valid. He was due to appear at Stroud Magistrates Court at 10am this morning.
Just in case you were wondering, this is what Pete got up to in 2005.
