PETE DOHERTY FOUND IN BATHROOM ON PLANE WITH NEEDLE IN ARM

It’s one thing behaving like a rock star, but it’s a fine line between being a rock star and losing every last ounce of sense. Like Pete Doherty who was recently arrested in Geneva, Switzerland after he was found slumped over in the airplane bathroom with a hypodermic needle.

Doherty held over drugs on BA flight

JUNKIE rocker PETE DOHERTY was arrested at the weekend after claims he took drugs on a British Airways flight.

The addict singer was detained on arrival at Geneva, Switzerland, after he was found slumped in an on-board toilet.

A hypodermic needle — commonly used by heroin addicts — was reportedly found. Swiss cops fined the 30-year-old singer, but allowed him to play a gig in the country.

Doherty was jailed last year for breaching a probation order following a number of arrests relating to his drug use. He said he had given them up.

A Geneva police spokesman said: “We were contacted by the captain of a BA flight and a passenger was controlled by police.

“He was charged — but I cannot say what with. He paid a fine and was allowed to go.”

A spokesman for Pete declined to comment.

Amazing vibe! Not only does he smuggle drugs on board, but he TAKES them during the flight. Jesus, I don’t even think Keith Richards would have done that!

Whaddaya mean, he still does!
