Rocker Pete Doherty was jailed in Gloucester after June 11 arrest for DUI and drug possession. The bust came less then a week after he was fined for nodding out on a British Airways flight to Switzerland.

Doherty was charged dangerous driving, possession of Class A drugs, drink driving and driving without a valid license and insurance. He was picked up after a Babyshambles gig.

En route to Switzerland on June 5, Doherty apparently needed a fix, so he shot up in the bathroom. After the flight, he was arrested and fined on by Swiss police.

Doherty  then played a Babyshambles show at the Neuchâtel Open Air Music Festival before quickly returning to London.

"He had been in there for about 25 minutes when the announcement came for the crew to prepare the flight for landing," a passenger reports. "The crew knocked on the door but Pete didn’t come out. They eventually managed to get in 10 minutes before the plane landed."

A needle was reportedly found in the bathroom.

Doherty was last busted for drugs in 2007.
