Pete Doherty received a suspended jail sentence yesterday for possession of drugs relating to his arrest in May.
Police had found a number of substances such as crack, heroine, ketamine and cannabis – on him and in his Jaguar in Kensington, West London. Doherty also plead guilty subsequently to a number of driving offenses. At a West London Magistrates’ Court on Thursday he was given a four-month custodial sentence, suspended for two years. He was also given an 18-month supervision order and a 12-month drug rehabilitation order by Davinder Lachhar, the district judge. She also ordered that Doherty pay a £400 fine for driving with no insurance and a £75 fine for having no MoT certificate.
About Doherty’s attempt at rehab Judge Lachhar said: “You have made strides and I hope you will continue to do so. I would hate to see you go backwards.â€
He left court to a chorus of cheers from his fans, who had packed the public gallery.
