Pete Doherty in 'Shambles,' Lands in Jail For 14 Weeks

Babyshambles frontman and former Libertine Pete Doherty, unsurprisingly, is back in jail.

According to the BBC, Doherty – an admitted drug user – is back in the slammer for...drum roll... violating his probabtion and using drugs. He will serve 14 weeks in jail. Judge Davinder Lachar sentenced the troubled singer at West London Magistrates Court today.

Doherty violated a probationary sentence from last October by failing to show up for court-ordered appointments and continued drug use. Doherty's sentence has resulted in the singer postponing one of his biggest solo gigs ever, a concert at Royal Albert Hall in London. Let's hope the singer gets some real help this time.

Do you think Doherty should have been given a longer sentence? Or should the singer just quit music altogether?

	scottmcdonald: 04/09/2008 2:06 PM I agree. He needs to be taken out of his comfort zone so he can think with a clear head.
	xxroofyxx: 06/14/2008 10:44 AM I dunno. I think he needs something bigger then the government to help him overcome his drug use.
