Stop us if you’ve heard this one before but… Pete Doherty has been arrested on suspicion of drug possession in the early hours of this morning.
Just hours after finishing his second set of the weekend at the dual-site V Festival, Pete was arrested in the Tower Hamlets area of east London after the car he was travelling in was stopped by police.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson has confirmed the incident and that Pete was being held at an east London police station but has given no further details.
Pete is facing jail related to an earlier arrest for possession - he was ordered to have an implant inserted into his stomach to help him beat his heroin addiction and District Judge Davinder Lachlar of West London Magistrates’ Court is expected to make a decision early next month over whether Pete has shown enough motivation in getting off drugs.
In related news, Pete and his Babyshambles bandmates stopped to help a man trapped in his car following a crash on a motorway.
The band were travelling to the Stafford leg of the V Festival after their gig in Chelmsford on Saturday night, when they saw the car crash into a concrete reservation.
A band source told the Sun: “They saw the overturned car billowing with smoke in the middle of the carriageway. They stopped and pulled a guy in his 50s from the vehicle. He had hit a concrete block on the side of the road and the car flipped over.”
“The man was insisting that he had only had a few fruit juices, but they thought he was protesting a bit too much.”
The driver was treated by paramedics for minor injuries and the band went on their way.
