Doherty could face jail after guilty drugs plea
Troubled singer Pete Doherty today pleaded guilty to five counts of possessing drugs including heroin and crack cocaine.
The Babyshambles front man was arrested in April just hours after being sentenced to a two-year community order for previous drug offences.
Today, the 27-year-old pleaded guilty at Thames Magistrates’ Court in east London for possessing heroin, cocaine, of which some was crack cocaine, and cannabis.
District Judge Alison Rose warned the singer, who lives in Laburnum Street, Haggerston, east London, he could face jail.
Doherty, who appeared in court wearing blue jeans, a white polo shirt and braces after spending the night in custody, also admitted to one count of possession on the August 7 this year, when he was found with a crack pipe and a small amount of crack cocaine.
Sentencing was adjourned until the September 4, when he is due to have a review of his community order.
All options were open to her, the judge said, and that “most definitely includes the possibility of custody”.
