Doherty must pay for smashed camera
6:26am Friday 25th July 2008
Troubled musician Pete Doherty smashed a photographer's camera on a day out with family before he had to return to rehab, a court heard.
The Babyshambles frontman lost his temper with South West News Service photographer Catherine Mead when she followed him around the Somerset town of Crewkerne last August.
The 29-year-old grabbed the camera and broke the lens after inviting Ms Mead and a colleague to introduce themselves.
The former drug addict pleaded guilty at Yeovil Magistrates' Court to causing criminal damage to the camera.
Magistrates ordered him to pay £918.27 in compensation to Ms Mead and to pay £100 in costs.
Doherty arrived at court dressed in a black suit, black Fred Perry cardigan, white shirt, grey tie and brown hat.
With a cigarette hanging from his lips, the ex-boyfriend of supermodel Kate Moss battled through a crowd of photographers and fans to get into the building.
Fans and defendants from other cases gathered in the public gallery to sit in on the case.
