Doherty drink driving trial set for December
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 2 October 2009
Pete Doherty’s trial for drink driving has been set to begin on 21 Dec at Gloucester Crown Court.
As previously reported, on 11 Jun Doherty was arrested in Gloucester and charged with drink driving and possession of class A drugs when police spotted him driving erratically after leaving the city’s Guildhall venue, where he had been playing a solo gig. At a hearing the next morning he was freed on £50,000 bail, which was paid by his manager.
The singer pleaded not guilty to a charge of dangerous driving, but admitted two counts of drug possession and driving without a licence or insurance at Cheltenham Magistrates Court on 11 Aug. He entered no plea on the charge of drink driving.
