Doherty, 40, the front man of the Libertines, was arrested on Sunday for assaulting a man while drunk, said the Paris prosecutors' office. His lawyer Arash Derambarsh said Doherty was arrested after a fight with another man who was also drunk, who had filed a complaint for assault against him. After being released on Saturday from custody following an arrest for possession of cocaine, Doherty "went home then went out again to have a drink", the lawyer added. Doherty was first arrested in the early hours of Friday morning when Paris police caught him just after he had bought cocaine. The singer opted for a simplified procedure for people caught using drugs, agreeing to pay daily 50-euro fines for 100 days, failing which he will be jailed, the Paris prosecutors' office said.
