British rocker Pete Doherty has been fined by Swiss authorities after his flight landed in Geneva, police said Monday.
A spokesman for the Geneva police rejected to confirm the reason for the fine, but sources have said it was imposed for drug consumption. The incident occurred Thursday and Doherty was released a few hours after being taken into custody, the spokesman added.
Doherty’s record label rejected to comment on the incident.
The 30-year-old lead singer of the Babyshambles, known for his battle against drug abuse, was sent to jail last year for breaching the terms of his probation.
He has managed to remained out of the headlines since then, except during the launch of his debut solo album “Pete Doherty: Grace/Wastelands” in March.
