Troubled rock star Pete Doherty was today fined £770 for possession of drugs, including crack cocaine, heroin and cannabis.

The Babyshambles frontman, 27, was also disqualified from driving for four months at a sentencing at Thames Magistrates' Court in east London.

He had previously pleaded guilty to counts of possessing heroin, cocaine and crack cocaine, and to two counts of possessing cannabis in April and August this year.

Sentencing him, District Judge Jane McIvor told Doherty that the offences were not serious enough to require a custodial sentence.
