Pete Doherty was released on bail Friday, a day after his latest arrest for suspected drug possession.
The 27-year-old Babyshambles singer was detained in a car Thursday in east London, hours after a judge placed him on probation on separate drug charges.
A disheveled-looking Doherty was accompanied by a lawyer as he left a police station where he had spent the night. His only comment to the knot of reporters and photographers: “I feel like smacking you in the face, mate, stay away from me.”
Doherty, the former boyfriend of model Kate Moss, was ordered to return to the station in June pending police inquiries. The driver of the car, who was not identified, also was freed on bail.
On Thursday, a judge placed Doherty on probation for two years and suspended him from driving for six months.
