A newly sober Pete Doherty was detained this past Friday on a British Airways flight to Geneva after being found in a drug-induced haze in the plane’s lavatory, SPIN reports. The Babyshambles (and ex-Libertines) singer refused to leave the bathroom until ten minutes before landing, whereupon he was escorted out by the flight crew, looking “completely out of it.” A hypodermic needle found by the pilot was reported to the police and Doherty was subsequently charged and fined, though ultimately let go. Apparently Pete is still following ex-girlfriend Amy Winehouse’s mantra regarding rehab: no, no, no!
