Warrant Issued For Pete Doherty's Arrest

added 18 July 2008 at 11.04

Pete Doherty's in trouble - again. A warrant for the Babyshambles frontman's arrest has been issued after he failed to appear at Yeovil Magistrates Court yesterday (July 17). Doherty was due to answer allegations of criminal damage following an incident in a shop in Crewkerne, Somerset last August. 

It's claimed that the singer chased photographer Cath Mead after she took a shot of Doherty and his then-girlfriend Irina Lazareanu, and the fracas resulted in damage to a camera.

It's the latest in a long line of brushes with the authorities for the 29-year-old musician and he's expected to appear before the magistrates again next week.

2. Its absolutely outrageous. The poor man, I mean Pete is the best he has ever been in a long long time, and he played an amazing sold out gig at the Royal Albert Hall last week. Now bearing in mind that crime in this country is at its highest and they want to spent tax payers money on a damn camera lens. Get a grip you lot, Its beyond a joke.

5. They just will not leave this fella alone will they! I mean a broken camera from nearly a year ago. Why on earth would they even bother??? I mean we all know the paparazzi in the country are intrusive to the point of disrespect, yet the law in this country are always defending their tactics for some strange reason. Just a case of legalised stalking in my honest opinion.
