DOHERTY ARRESTED FOR DRUG POSSESSION

Troubled British rocker PETE DOHERTY is in trouble with the law again - he's been arrested for drug possession. The singer was stopped by police in London in the early hours of Monday morning (20Aug07) after performing at the V Festivals in Essex and Staffordshire over the weekend (18-19Aug07). A police spokesman confirms, "A 28-year-old man was arrested in east London on suspicion of possession of drugs. He is in custody at an east London police station." The Babyshambles frontman was warned earlier this month (07Aug07) he faces a prison sentence if detained by police for any further drug offences, after a string of charges in recent months. The 28-year-old pleaded guilty to driving illegally while in possession of crack cocaine, heroin, ketamine and cannabis at a hearing in July (07). He briefly checked into rehab at the Detox 5 clinic in Harrogate, England, later that month for a GBP3,000 ($6,000) intensive five-day programme to kick his heroin addiction.
