Singer could spend up to five years in prison for allegedly breaking into a German music store in March
Pete Doherty will reportedly be charged in connection with the burglary of a German music store in March. The former Libertines frontman, currently serving a six-month sentence for possession of cocaine, faces up to five years in prison if officials proceed with charges.
Prosecutors in Regensburg intend to charge Doherty with careless intoxication, according to the German press. The singer was in the Bavarian town earlier this year, filming an adaptation of Alfred de Musset's The Confession of a Child of the Century. In the early hours of 8 March, several English-speakers were seen outside a closed music shop, which was later broken into. A record and a guitar went missing, only to be later found abandoned in the main square.
Doherty reportedly acknowleded he had been outside the shop, but told police he had been too drunk to remember what transpired. Given that he was highly inebriated, prosecutors will apparently give up on burglary charges, pursuing him for careless intoxication instead.
Doherty's current prison sentence, his third since 2003, is to end on 21 August.
