D'oh-erty! Pete Skates on Police Blunder

Pete DohertyYou'd think that by now, police would've gotten the hang of arresting rock wreck Pete Doherty.

But Kate Moss' ex-boytoy was let off by a judge yesterday, after coppers in east London couldn't get him in front of her within 24 hours of his Monday arrest on suspicion of drug possession. Doherty had been arrested around 2:30 AM Monday, after performing with his band Babyshambles at a festival. But, according to reports from the UK, Judge Susan Williams had to let him go, saying, "Anyone arrested for a breach of bail must be brought before the court and dealt with in a 24-hour period."

Of course, Pete's escaped big trouble several times before, having been threatened with jail less than two weeks ago. It's unclear how his recent arrest will affect that case, in which he admitted driving illegally with crack, heroin, ketamine and pot.

2. None of this matters because they will find his body some day and that will be the end of him "getting off". He's on his way to a dirt nap as we speak. He won't get the last laugh.

4. Talk about luck... He needs to get some help for his drug addiction.
Having a gf who (once) had a drug issue isn't much help.
Because I never heard if Ms. Moss had any intervention for her issues

6. He is definetly a meth user. It makes you age real fast. Teeth rot and you get sores on your body. He really thinks he got one over on the cops but they'll get the last laugh when they find his nasty, dead body in a dirty crack house. Great to be a pop star hey?

10. I've never heard of his band or heard a single song they play, but I know his name and it is synonomous with "addict" in my mind. That's sad because from what I hear he is really talented........if you ever needed proof kids, here it is: Just Say No.

Posted at 11:17AM on Aug 21st 2007 by How is this dude still alive?

11. Who cares about ugly Amy Sadaris??????????????????

12. To the Police: The more you leave him alone, the faster he'll overdose and die and go away. Do us all a favor, let him score some supergood heroin, crack and whatever else he's on, and let him alone for a couple days. Then, simply respond to the inevitable phone call of whoever it is that will be finding his lifeless body. No more problem.

Just let me know if you need more professional advice.

13. Hey headline writer, you do realize that his name is pronounced "Dockerty" right? So that pretty much renders your pun useless. Do your homework next time!

Posted at 12:09PM on Aug 21st 2007 by english

14. The meth is eating his face..........I'm expecting a headline of : Doherty Found Dead.

What a shame because he was once talented.

15. To #13 ENGLISH

His last name should be pronounced: DIRTY
