Pete Doherty spent last night behind bars and this morning in a courtroom after being arrested on suspicion of drink driving and drug possession yesterday.

The Babyshambles frontman was arrested in Gloucester in the early hours of yesterday morning after he was spotted driving erratically on his way home from a solo gig.

A spokesperson for the local police explained: “He’s been charged with dangerous driving, possession of Class A drugs, drink driving and driving without a valid license and insurance.

“He’s been remanded in custody and he’ll be appearing at Stroud Magistrates Court [on Friday morning].”

A unnamed woman in the car was also arrested but later released without charge.

This arrest comes less than a week after he was arrested in Switzerland for alleged using drugs on a flight into the country. Police in Geneva confirmed the arrest and that he was released after paying a fine, but did not divulge the specific charge.
