For Pete's Sake! BabyShambles Frontman in the News For Drug Abuse, Again

Pete Doherty's life seems to be going pretty much the same way like the name of his band - in shambles. Having already broken his New Year resolution by claiming he took drugs while on a British Airways flight to Geneva, he's also now in custody.

The rocker was taken in by authorities on arrival after he was found slumped in the onboard toilet during the travel.

Cops reportedly found a hypodermic needle, which is commonly used by heroin addicts.

The singer, 30, was allegedly fined and later released for a performance in the country.

"We were contacted by the captain of a BA flight and a passenger was controlled by police," the Sun quoted a Geneva police spokesman as saying.

"He was charged - but I cannot say what with. He paid a fine and was allowed to go," the spokesman added.

Doherty previously landed in prison for breaching a probation order after a number of arrests stemming from his drug use.
