Pete Doherty is still in police custody after being arrested for suspected drug possession.

The Babyshambles man was pulled over in his car by police in Gloucester in the early hours of this morning (June 11).

The arrest came just half an hour after he had finished a solo show at the Guildhall venue.

As well as suspected drug possession, 30-year-old Doherty was also arrested on suspicion of drink driving and failure to stop for police.

A Gloucester Police spokesperson said:"At approximately 12.30am officers on patrol in Eastgate Street saw a car being driven erratically, it continued down Barton Street and was stopped in Derby Road.

“A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, possession of drugs and failure to stop for police, he remains in custody at this time.”

Doherty was arrested at a Geneva Airport in Switzerland at the weekend for allegedly taking drugs on a British Airways flight.
