Pete Doherty Sent to Jail for 14 Weeks - Do You Need A Long Island Criminal Lawyer?
British rock star Pete Doherty was ordered jailed Tuesday for 14 weeks for violating terms of his probation, his record label said.
The sentence, handed down at a west London court, forces Doherty to reschedule a performance at the Royal Albert Hall scheduled for April 26. His appearance at Britain's high-profile Glastonbury festival at the end of June also is in doubt.
Adrian Hunter, Doherty's manager, said there were "numerous reasons" the singer/songwriter had been jailed. "One of them was his late-coming at probation hearings," he told Reuters. Doherty, 29, has been in and out of court in recent months in connection with his well-publicized battle with drug abuse.
At a court hearing in October he admitted to a string of drug and driving offences, but was spared from jail when he was handed a suspended four-month prison term.

Doherty later issued a public apology after being filmed taking heroin, having just told a music magazine that he was overcoming his addiction. He called that relapse a "stupid, stupid action for which I feel only shame."
