Police furious as Kate Moss won't come back to Britain
Quote:
POLICE have threatened to handcuff Kate Moss when she arrives back in Britain.
They are furious the model, 32, keeps dodging their requests that she fly home to be quizzed about her cocaine use.
Kate - who has enjoyed a round-the-world jaunt since the Mirror exposed the scandal - could now be arrested when she does return.
Stay-away Kate's antics have not impressed the police who have warned her she faces arrest if and when she comes back to Britain. "We now think she may have no plans to return in the near future," a source told the Daily Mirror. It means when she does eventually come back we may have to take a very different attitude towards her."
It seems Kate is in no hurry to pack her suitcases and leave the white sands of Malibu, and the seven bedroom home once owned by Elizabeth Taylor she rents for £25,000-a-week.
She could have taken a deal to walk voluntarily into a police station with lawyers to be formally interviewed under caution but now faces the humiliation of arrest.
A senior police officer said: "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."
Scotland Yard's determination to fully investigate the matter stems from Commissioner Sir Ian Blair's vow to take a tough stand against "the celebrity cult of drug users".
When he took office last February he promised to get tough on music stars, sports heroes and wealthy young professionals who use drugs with little fear of arrest.
A close colleague of Sir Ian said: "He thinks these people are taking the rise and believe their celebrity and wealth puts them beyond the law. He is determined to get tough with people who are role models for whole generations of youngsters."
Six days after the Mirror's exposè Kate, 31, said "sorry" in a grovelling public apology to try to save her career. "I take full responsibility for my actions," she said.
It is a statement she has yet to make good on.
Meanwhile, Doherty, 26, yesterday admitted possession of heroin, crack cocaine, morphine and cannabis when he appeared before Thames magistrates in East London. He was bailed and will be sentenced on February 8.
