Pete Doherty Faces Charges Over German Break-in

Pete Doherty could face another stint in prison -- this time in Germany. The former Libertines frontman was arrested in Regensburg, Germany, earlier this year after his involvement in a music shop break-in where he made off with a guitar and a record. The Sun reports that the shop's owners have decided to press charges against him.

For his part, Doherty has already admitted to smashing the shop's window but claims to have no recollection of the event on account of being drunk. The stolen goods were later recovered in Regensburg's main square.

Doherty had been staying in the German town while filming his role in the film, 'Confessions of a Young Contemporary.' He was starring alongside singer-actress Charlotte Gainsbourg where he played the French novelist and poet Alfred de Musset.

As previously reported by Spinner, Doherty is currently serving a six-month prison sentence for cocaine possession. He was arrested by police investigating the fatal drug overdose of heiress and film maker Robyn Whitehead, who had been attempting to make a documentary on the singer.

He could now face five years in a German prison if convicted of the theft and breaking and entering charges.
