Pete Doherty arrested on suspected possession while answering DUI charge

Oh, Pete Doherty.

The so-wrongly-attractive former Libertines frontman was arrested again today, while in actually already in court escaping jail time for a DUI charge. “Moments” after avoiding a sentence for what the Brits call “drink driving,” officers descended on Doherty in the corridors at at Gloucester Crown Court. Doherty, all addict-adorable and disheveled-looking in a three piece suit torn at the crotch, was lead from the courthouse across the street to the police station after cops allegedly found a baggie of something or other on the singer during a standard security check-in.

An onlooker described the incident to NME:

“He was being frisked by a security officer and when he emptied his pockets a clingfilm wrap fell out,” the onlooker said. “The security man picked it up and saw it contained what looked like little blue crystals. The security man phoned the police and about six officers came over and waited to arrest Doherty when his case was over.”

Doherty’s secondary arrest was confirmed to press by a Gloucestershire Constabulary spokeswoman:

‘A 30-year-old Wiltshire man has been arrested on suspicion of being in possession of a controlled substance. He is currently assisting police with their inquiries.’
