Doherty, 40, shot to fame as singer for the
Libertines in the 2000s and gained a bad boy public image over
drugs and run-ins with the police.
"Pete Doherty was placed in custody overnight for the
acquisition of narcotic products," a spokesman for the Paris
prosecutor's office said, without elaborating.
Doherty, the former boyfriend of model Kate Moss, has been
arrested for drug offences on numerous occasions.
French media reported the former Babyshambles frontman was
detained during an alleged drug deal in the Pigalle neighborhood
in northern Paris, a district known for its late-night bars.
The prosecutor's office did not confirm this.
A representative for Doherty declined to comment.
