Pete Doherty, boyfriend of Kate Moss, has pleaded guilty to drug charges. Gee, what a shocker.
From The Guardian Unlimited:
Shortly beforehand, Ms Lachhar [the judge] had issued a warrant for his arrest. “This is a court of law,” the judge said. “He should have been here at 9.30am, and he isn’t. I am giving a warrant with no bail.”
When the hearing eventually started, a seemingly emotional Doherty wept when he was told he could face a jail sentence and struggled to give his new address, eventually doing so through his lawyer.
He pleaded guilty to charges of possessing quantities of crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine - “quite a selection” of drugs, the judge said - and to two driving offences. He also admitted an extra charge of failing to appear in court without reasonable excuse.
