Pete Doherty goes straight to jail for violation of his probation

After numerous arrests, trips to court, and overnight stints in jail, for drug related offenses, it appears the law has finally decided to slap the hand of Pete Doherty. He has been ordered to serve 14 weeks in jail for a variety of violations of his probation on many previous drug charges and continued drug use. He was taken right from West London Magistrates’ Court and immediately locked up this time following a 30 minute hearing this afternoon. This is a pretty remarkable occurrence given that Doherty has somehow managed to avoid reasonable punishment for years of drug offenses. Doherty is expected to serve only one month under current rules but should he screw up and forced to complete the full three and half months of his sentence he will not only miss a solo show at the Royal Albert Hall in London (April 26), but the Glastonbury (June 27-29) festival, which he is due to play.
