Fugitive Moss threatened by cops

The British police are apparently so enraged with supermodel Kate Moss for avoiding questioning on her drug scandal, that they are threatening to arrest the model when she returns to the UK.

Moss, who has travelled between Europe, America and the Caribbean since her cocaine addiction was revealed in September, was given the option to walk voluntarily into a police station with lawyers to be formally interviewed under caution. However, there has been no response from her, and she now faces arrest.

A senior police officer said Kate was beginning to be considered a fugitive, and that she would be getting a different kind of treatment when she returned.

"We now think she is starting to behave like a fugitive. If she has nothing to hide she should come back and deal with the matter sensibly. We have made a very fair offer for her to come back and surrender herself for interview voluntarily but there has been absolutely no response at all," the Mirror quoted him, as saying.
