Pete Doherty has been granted a little more freedom before possibly serving some time in jail.

Reuters reports that sentencing for Doherty on a number of drug offences was deferred by a magistrate on Monday. Doherty will now learn his fate on December 4.

On August 18, the Babyshambles front-man pleaded guilty to four charges of possessing class A narcotics (specifically heroin and cocaine) and one charge of marijuana possession.

The delay is meant to offer Doherty more time in a rehab clinic. He had been ordered to check in to the clinic as a condition of being released on bail.

He faces possible prison time of up to 6 months for the drug charges.
