Pete Doherty has been fined $2,000 in a British court for breaking the lens of a photographer who had been following him and his family last August, Agence France-Presse reports.

The troubled 29-year-old Brit has been in and out of prison for everything from drug possession to failure to appear in court.

"Yeah, it’s OK today,' Doherty said outside the courthouse. "It should have been sorted out ages ago to be honest. It's been hanging over me for a long time."
