"Swiss police met BA730 from Heathrow to Geneva on Friday and a man was arrested," a British Airways spokesperson said "We were contacted by the captain of a BA flight and a passenger was controlled by police. He was charged — but I cannot say what with. He paid a fine and was allowed to go."

Dont stop me now, Im having such a good time.

I thought it had been a while since Mr Doherty had been in the headlines for drug abuse instead of what he reckons he is so good at MUSIC. He seem to be above the law what ever Country he get busted in! If it had been anyone else doing drugs on a plane I'm sure they would of received a much harsher punishment than Pete Doherty.

If ain't broke then don't try to fix it.

I'm not a 100% how the law works in Switzerland but he probably got off as its not illegal to take drugs its illegal to 'possess' them so the fact they were gone (as he had probably taken them all) means there wasn't much they could charge him with. So JoeS the moral of the story is if you are going to get high on a plane make sure you finish off your stash
