Breaking: Pete Doherty kicks a reporter’s arm

Today, Pete Doherty plead guilty to seven drug charges (possession of heroin, crack cocaine, and weed) and then showed everyone what it’s like inside the mind of a crackhead. (We’re not taking James Frey‘s word for it.)

We hope he was actually on some of these drugs after his appearance, when the crazy ass went bananas on the reporters outside the court.

Trudi Barber, a reporter for the British Broadcasting Corp.’s Radio One station, was kicked amid scenes of what she described as “total chaos.”

Yes, folks, kicked. In the arm. The 26-year-old Babyshambles singer, “wearing his trademark trilby hat and a gray suit” pulled out his kung-fu moves on Barber, chopping her in the elbow and knocking her microphone out of her hand.

After the arm-kicking incident, Pete then jumped in a cab, and penned “I heart drugs 4 eva” on the window.
