Pete Doherty had a run-in with police just hours after leaving rehab yesterday (16.07.07).

Officers fined the troubled Babyshambles singer £100 after he threw rubbish from a taxi window in London's Regent's Park.

Police stopped the blue minicab to question Pete and ask him for proof of identity at around 12.20pm.

A source said: "He looked pretty sheepish about getting into trouble for something so stupid.

"The policeman gave him a stern telling-off, then issued him with a fine."

On Sunday night (15.07.07), Pete checked into North Yorkshire's Detox 5 clinic, in Harrogate, wearing two trilby hats.

Just minutes later, Pete's luggage was packed into a car and he was driven away.

Pete's visit to the clinic is believed to be the start of the five-day detox programme a judge ordered him to attend earlier this month.

He was told to enter rehab or face a jail sentence after being found guilty of possession of crack cocaine, popular club drug ketamine, heroin and cannabis in May.

Pete - who was recently dumped by fiancée Kate Moss - also confessed to driving without a licence and failing to appear in court.

District Judge Davinder Lachhar deferred sentencing until August 7 so his rehab stay can be reviewed.

The 28-year-old musician's lawyer Sean Curran revealed Pete's £3,000 detox programme would begin on Monday (23.07.07), adding: "Pete has been in Harrogate over the weekend but I believe he is now back in London."

Pete's bandmate Mick Whitnall was also driven to the Harrogate clinic yesterday.
