Peter Doherty To Be Released From Jail After Only 29 Days
LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Musician Pete Doherty, 29, is set to go free on Tuesday May 6, after serving only 29 days of his 14 week jail term, reports The Sun.
The Babyshambles singer spent 98 days in jail after refusing to take drug tests during a suspended sentence for drug possession. Last month, The Sun reported that Doherty was shooting up in the Detox unit of London’s Wormwood Scrubs.
Doherty's sentence has been cut in half and an additional 18 days were deducted as part of a plan introduced last summer to ease jail overcrowding. Additionally, another two days are being subtracted from his sentence due to time spent in police custody.
