I thought last week when he was convicted of drugs offences he was put onto mandatory drug rehab and drug testing and any further breaches and trnagressins he would be put in klink.
Now he is facing 7 counts of drug posession.
Was found driving a stolen car.
Has neglected to turn up to court today at 10am to face more charges.Yet this was argues in is court appearance earlier this week (yep you guessed it MORE drugs offences)
appearing at Thames Magistrates Court after being charged on Tuesday with possessing controlled drugs.
From Sky:

He faces seven charges of possession of crack cocaine, heroin and cannabis.

But he has kept magistrates waiting and had not shown up for his appearance at 10am.

Yesterday, magistrates at the same court told the former Libertines singer and Babyshambles frontman he has been making "positive progress" in his fight against drug addiction.

This was despite testing positive for drugs in the first month of his 12-month community order.

The order was imposed when Doherty, 26, was sentenced in February for seven counts of possessing controlled drugs.

A review hearing was told that his "determination was increasing" to come off illegal substances.
