Pete Doherty taking heroin in prison?
Wednesday 16 April 2008
Photographs of the 29-year-old Babyshambles star appeared in today's The Sun newspaper amid rumours that he is taking drugs while in Wormwood Scrubs.
The newspaper claims that, although Doherty is taking the substitute drug methadone, heroin is also being smuggled into his cell at the detox wing of the London prison.
An inmate is quoted as telling the newspaper: "We can't believe how much he's still clucking for it. They put him inside to force him to give up but Pete always has a need to feed his habit."
The Sun also alleges that Doherty is being protected by an inmate named Ray, after rumours began that the Babyshambles star had smuggled drugs in when he was jailed last week for violating probation.
A source told the newspaper: "It wasn't true but it was enough to make people want to find him and rob him. Ray is making sure this doesn't happen"
A spokesman for the Prison Service said: "We will act on any intelligence which indicates drugs are being smuggled or abused."
