Rocker arrested on suspicion of drug possession

? Rocker Pete Doherty, best known as the on-off boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss, has been arrested on suspicion of drug possession, police and the singer’s spokesman said Thursday.

Doherty, 26, was stopped by police as he drove along a street in west London early Wednesday, said spokesman Tony Linkin.

The Metropolitan Police said officers had stopped a car that was driving erratically in the area. Police said “substances” were found and a 26-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of possessing Class A drugs – a category that includes cocaine and heroin.

Doherty, former lead singer with indie rockers The Libertines, now fronts the band Babyshambles.

Rock band 311, former Creed singer fight in luxury hotel

Baltimore – Former Creed lead singer Scott Stapp and members of the band 311 were involved in a fight on Thanksgiving in the lounge of a luxury hotel, according to hotel security staff and 311 members.

311 were in Baltimore for a weekend concert when several members ran into Stapp earlier that day, band drummer Chad Sexton told The Associated Press. Both Stapp and 311 have the same producer, and Sexton said there were no problems during the first meeting.

But Stapp later came into the Harbor Court Hotel bar while Sexton and bandmates SA Martinez and P-Nut were watching basketball on television. He stepped in front of the screen and said, “311, I am ready to fight,” according to Sexton.

Sexton said the band tried to defuse the situation, and Stapp went to the bar.

During the melee, Martinez broke a finger and later went to the hospital to have a cast put on his hand. Security guards eventually broke up the brawl. Police were called, but no arrests were made, according to hotel security.
