The former flame of supermodel Kate Moss, British rocker Pete Doherty has been sentenced to 14 weeks in jail for his drug use and failure to attend probation hearings in a timely manner.
He was taken from West London Magistrates’ Court and locked up for 14 weeks following a 30 minute hearing this afternoon. Doherty was jailed for ‘his breach of time keeping, non compliance of his order and using different drugs’, a spokesperson from the court confirmed.
Back in October, Judge Davinder Lachar cleared Doherty from the remainder of a drug control order but handed him his suspended jail sentence for drug and motoring offences.
The 29-year-old was given a four-month custodial sentence, suspended for two years. On that occasion he handed an 18-month supervision order and a 12-month drug rehabilitation order.
Commenting on his sentence, an EMI spokesman said: “Unfortunately Peter has had to postpone his show at the Royal Albert Hall on April 26th. The show is due to be rescheduled and all tickets will be valid for the new date once it has been announced. Peter was very much looking forward to the show and would like to offer his sincerest apologies to all his fans and to all those concerned.”
