Pete Doherty In Crushed Camera Cash Pay-Out

added 25 July 2008 at 10.23

Relax, fans… he’s not going to prison again. But will the law ever leave the Babyshambles man alone?

This week’s Pete Doherty non-story: the Babyshambles front man has admitting to smashing a photographer’s camera. The incident, which took place in Crewkerne, Somerset last August kicked off when snapper Catherine Mead was following Doherty and his then-girlfriend Irina Lazareanu around the town. The former Libertine then chased the pap into a shop and grabbed the camera.

Doherty was ordered to pay £918.27 in compensation, plus £100 in costs. Considering Pete is considered to be a bit strapped for cash, this new is probably not good for the troubled singer.

  1. It's quite a cheap way of getting a bit of publicity and keeping up his badboy image. Naughty Pete

  2. Catherine Mead in any other situation would be considered a stalker. Yet stick a camera round her neck and its legal.
