Why doesn't Interpol just assign Pete Doherty with his own drugs officer (or sniffer dog, may be)? I'm sure it would be a better use of resources. Anyway, Spanish police searched an aeroplane carrying Mr Doherty yesterday after crew members found a blood covered syringe in the bin of one of the toilets. Spanish Guardia Civil met Doherty and four friends when the Easyjet flight they were on arrived at Barcelona Airport, though they found no suspicious substances on the passengers or in the toilets, so they let them go on their way.
A spokesman for Easyjet said that their crew became suspicious after Doherty spent "an unusual amount of time in the toilet". After discovering the syringe Doherty was questioned by the crew and became "agitated and aggressive" - and that's when they contacted Spanish police. Despite being let go without charge by the authorities, Easyjet say that they have banned Doherty from using their services in the future.
Elsewhere in 'haven't got round to reporting yet' Doherty news, the Sun has claimed the singer dumped his drugged up cousin on a pavement because he didn't want to be found with someone who had seemingly OD-ed. The tabloid says that after finding his cousin, Mark Peter, unconscious and overdosing, Doherty told a friend to move him out onto the street before calling for help. Which was nice.
And finally in Doherty related shenanigans, we heard a rumour that at a recent Dirty Pretty Things gig in London security guards at the venue were told by Carl Barat et al to not allow Doherty in should he show (which he didn't). To help, they even provided pictures of what Pete looked like, just in case any of the bouncers hadn't read a newspaper in the last two years.
