Doherty bailed on drugs charges

Adjust font size:

LONDON, England -- Singer Pete Doherty has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of possessing crack cocaine, police in London said.

The Babyshambles singer and on-off boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss was held after officers saw him driving his Jaguar erratically near his home in east London, the UK's Press Association reported.

As well as the 27-year-old star, two other occupants of the car were also arrested on suspicion of drug possession, PA said.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said all three were released from Bethnal Green police station pending analysis of "substances recovered."

They must return in December.

The arrest is the latest minor chapter in the life of Doherty, known as much for his on-off relationship with model Moss and his well-publicized drug problems as his music.

Doherty has repeatedly sought treatment for his addiction at the renowned Priory, in west London, as well as clinics in France, Portugal and Thailand.

He was fined £750 earlier this month for assaulting a radio reporter outside a magistrates' court.

Last month Doherty cancelled remaining dates of a British tour with Babyshambles to give himself more time to recover from his drug addiction treatment, his spokesman said.
