Pete Doherty had a run-in with police just hours after leaving rehab yesterday Officers fined the troubled Babyshambles singer £100 (U.S. $200.) 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 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 program 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 (U.S. $6000.) detox program would begin on Monday 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.
