Dreamboat was later arrested on suspicion of drink driving, possession of drugs, and failing to stop.
A police spokesperson says Doherty remains in custody. He said, "At approximately 12.30am officers on patrol in Eastgate Street saw a car being driven erratically, it continued down Barton Street and was stopped in Derby Road."
"A 30-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of drink driving, possession of drugs and failure to stop for police.
"He remains in custody at this time."
This is Doherty's second arrest this month. He was arrested and fined last week amid allegations that he
injected drugs
on a British Airways flight.
Cabin crew reportedly spent 25 minutes trying to get Pete to leave the loo on the plane. When he finally emerged, onlookers say he appeared to be "intoxicated".
Pete was arrested on arrival in Switzerland, where he was charged with an unspecified offence and ordered to pay a fine.
Meanwhile, cops also raided the singer's country home yesterday. The boys in blue reportedly swooped on his pad in Wiltshire, England, but refused to reveal why, or what they were looking for, and if anything was found.
A cop rep says: "We did ask Wiltshire Police to search an address in the Marlborough area in connection with a drugs arrest which took place in Gloucestershire."
Menace to society or little boy lost in a chemical storm? Either way, his finger's wavering over that self-destruct button again. Sort it out, Pete.
Quote of the day
Eccentric French designer Karl Lagerfield has hit out again at model Heidi Klum and her hubby Seal.
In a bizarre rant in February, the sartorial saint launched a bitter attack on pregnant Klum, saying she "is no runway model. Heidi Klum is simply too heavy and has too big a bust. And she always grins so stupidly. That is not avant-garde - that is commercial".
But now the leather gloves are off it gets bitchier.
"I don't know her. Claudia Schiffer doesn't know her. She was never in Paris, we don't know her."
He then goes on to lash out at her hubby Seal and his skin.
"I am no dermatologist but I wouldn't want his [Seal] skin. Mine looks better than his. He is covered in craters," he added.
What a nasty little turnip. Ironic really, coming from a man who looks like
Helen Daniels from Neighbours
in a bad suit.
Everyone's talking about...
Danny De Vito's 'drunken' rant on American breakfast TV.
He now claims he was simply 'acting' and tells Radaronline.com: "I was only trying to make a TV interview fun. In the scene the TV people were covering, my character was drinking (pretend beer). When you see the scene on the show... you will understand. It's called acting."
Becks on the pull
Panty man and sometimes footballer David Beckham has stripped to his budgie smugglers again in the name of Armani.
The underwear God brought London to a standstill this week when he unveiled a giant undies advert outside Selfridges.

You can breathe now.
Of the latest disrobing, Becks 'body by Michelangelo, brain by Mattel' said he found it all "a little embarrassing".
Don't be so modest. If you've got it, brand it Beckham.
Paris Scores
Paris Hilton clearly doesn't believe in procrastination when it comes to manly matters.
Only hours after news emerged that the heirhead had
dumped her boyfriend
of six months, Doug Reinhardt, the lady of perpetual self-promotion has now been linked to soccer hunk Cristiano Ronaldo.
T'Internet is buzzing with the rumour that hot property Hilton has struck again and scored herself a new companion.
According to X17.com, the pair were spotted getting
up close and personal
at a LA nightspot - less that 24hrs after Hilton dumped Reinhardt.
A snitch tells the website: "Cristiano and Paris were all over each other
(Ed note: hold your stomachs)
swapping spit the entire night!
"His table needed every waitress in the building to bring all the alcohol he was getting through to him. He spent in excess of $20,000 on champagne and drinks. He was having a great time."
The pair apparently started off the night separately, with Ronaldo dining at the Brazilian restaurant Fogo De Chao and Hilton and her sister Nicky noshing it up at Nobu.
A snitch said: "The Hilton sisters showed up at about 10.20pm and sat on the outside patio. Paris wasn't her usual chipper, chatty self - she looked absolutely miserable.
"She was clearly flying under the radar with her sister. She had a couple of cocktails and she was fiddling with her phone throughout the entire meal."
They all later made a B-line for LA hotspot MyHouse, and that's when the action kicked in.
And just as we were about to file this bawdy fairytale under 'Yet another fantasy union', along comes some photographic 'evidence' (courtesy of TMZ) that Hilton and Ronaldo might just be hooking up.
