Yesterday, in a move that makes beehived train wreck Amy Winehouse seem as clean as the Noxzema girl, British musician Pete Doherty was arrested after cops discovered him with a bag of heroin.

Yawn, right? The doughy-faced Doherty -- whom we vaguely remember as a dude who once dated model Kate Moss (and not so much for his music, which has failed to translate into success here in the United States) -- is only known at this point on this side of the Atlantic as being someone with major league substance-abuse issues.

But the newsworthy slant in this particular case is where and when Doherty was arrested. It occurred at a freaking courthouse, where he was standing trial for, among many other things, possession of drug paraphernalia. (Read all about it in this article about the incident written entirely in German!)

If we've said it once, we've said it a million times: Bringing heroin to your own narcotics-related trial is as stupid as having unprotected sex in Haiti.
