It’s All Fun And Games Until Someone Pokes An Eye Out

The bloody chap just can’t stay out of trouble, but what does one expect from a rock star? Late Saturday night, which quickly turned into early Sunday morning, Pete Doherty attended a charming little soiree hosted by Paul Roundhill at a East London flat. When an amateur actor named Mark Bianco arrived, he and Pete exhanged what can only be described as “fighting words” and started to toss punches at each other.

“Blanco arrived at Paul’s a little drunk. He and Pete started to niggle each other.

“It turned into a full blown argument, with insults being thrown on both sides. The argument got physical and Roundhill stepped in to break it up. He then asked Blanco to leave.

“A few minutes later some lads came rushing up to say there was a man lying in the street.”

Police have categorized Bianco’s death as “unexplained” but don’t believe anyone else was the proximate or actual cause of the fatal injuries sustained from the fall. Attendees of the party are being asked for statements, and Doherty should certainly prepare himself to be coherent for the inevitable interview.

The twist in this plot comes from the detail that the fall was from a second-floor balcony. Certainly, one would expect to sustain injuries including broken bones from such a fall, but would these be necessarily life-threatening injuries? Most likely not.

After Bianco’s body was found at 1.00am, Pete departed before the police arrived and headed to the Washington Pub in North London where “mayhem” erupted shortly thereafter. Fellow drinkers witnessed Doherty tossing pint glasses and knocking over tables, and once again, police were summoned around 2.25am. As expected, Pete fled the scene, evading the law per his normal routine:

Three nights earlier, Pete had also caused trouble at the £200-a-night Malmaison Hotel in Clerkenwell. He caused thousands in damages by smashing mirrors, ripping down light fittings, and smearing blood on the walls. (Yay, more ART!)

“There is evidence he took drugs, the carpet’s wrecked, there are smashed up bottles everywhere and the place is covered in blood.”

Along for this particular ride to hotel hell was “a mystery female pal” who apparently was not Kate Moss. The next day, Doherty was banned from driving by District Judge Jane McIvor who also complimented the new Babyshambles song, “The Blinding.” Obviously, she hasn’t seen the crappy video.

Thanx to reader Daniel and also Celebitchy for the tips.
