Poor Pete Doherty arrested hours after his court appearance


Now we’re starting to feel sorry for Pete Doherty since he seemed to be cleaning up slightly and was even praised for his efforts by the judge at his sentencing hearing yesterday. The guy can’t catch a break, though, and was just arrested yesterday on suspicion of drugs possession for the umpteenth time:

LONDON – Babyshambles frontman Pete Doherty was arrested Thursday, hours after a court appearance on drugs possession, according to media reports.

Police said a 27-year-old man was stopped in east London just after 2 p.m. by plainclothes officers and arrested on suspicion of possession of drugs with intent to supply. They did not name the man arrested, but the British Broadcasting Corp. reported it was Doherty.

The Metropolitan Police said the man and a 21-year-old companion were being questioned at an east London police station.

Hopefully officers didn’t find any drugs on Doherty, and it will not jeopardize his probation.

In these pictures taken yesterday of Doherty shopping in London, he looks relatively sober. He’s just trying to mind his own business while considering whether to buy a pair of binoculars. He seems really sweet and there’s something about him that makes you just want to protect him… yeah, that must be how he snared Kate.
