 | | Pete Doherty is lucky | | |  |
Babyshambles rocker -Pete Doherty - who pleaded guilty to possession of crack cocaine, heroin, cannabis and ketamine as well as two driving offenses in July - was
given four weeks to get himself drug-free or face a prison sentence.
District Judge Davinder Lachlar said: "What I have in mind is to adjourn
this matter for four weeks to assess his motivation
"What I have in mind is a community order or prison. If he does not show the
motivation in four weeks it will be prison - it's as simple as that."
Judge Lachlar previously ordered 28-year-old Doherty to undergo a detox
treatment at a hearing last month.
The singer's lawyer Sean Curran said his client had been attending a detox
program for about a week, and Doherty even offered to show the court the
implant in his stomach, designed to help him give up drugs.
The judge did not impose a fine on Doherty, despite him testing positive for
drugs, saying it was still too early to see results of the detox.
