Musician Doherty Arrested on Drug Charges
Published
Musician Pete Doherty, the sometime boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss, has been arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs, days after pleading guilty to similar charges.
Doherty, lead singer with the group Babyshambles, was arrested Saturday while driving through east London, police said.
Officers were trying to flag down another car, but Doherty pulled over. His behavior "caught officers' attention," and the musician was arrested on suspicion of possessing illegal drugs and driving under the influence of drugs.
He was released on bail until a court appearance Feb. 2.
Doherty, whose relationship with Moss made him a tabloid newspaper staple, was arrested Nov. 30 and charged with possession of cocaine and heroin. He pleaded guilty last week and was released on bail.
Moss, 31, lost valuable modeling contracts with H&M, Burberry and Chanel after the Daily Mirror tabloid published pictures in September of her apparently using cocaine in a west London music studio where Doherty, then her boyfriend, was recording.
She later went into a rehabilitation clinic in Arizona and has since resumed her modeling career.
