Soft-drink carton heir flees police

LONDON (UPI) -- The heir to a Swedish container fortune left his London mansion through the window as officers broke down his bedroom door, police said.

Officers had come to Hans Kristian Rausing's house in the Chelsea neighborhood to ask him and his wife about a car crash earlier Sunday evening, the Daily Mail reported. Witnesses had said an Audi Quattro registered to Rausing had hit another car and then disappeared.

Rausing, 45, is one of three children of Hans Rausing, who built up a large fortune making Tetra Pak soft drink cartons. His wife Eva is a U.S. citizen and heir to a Pepsi fortune.

The couple were already in legal trouble because guards at the U.S. embassy allegedly found heroin and crack cocaine on Eva Rausing when she went there to renew her passport. A search of their home allegedly disclosed still more drugs.

A maid at the Rausing's house reportedly let police in Sunday. When the officers heard voices in the bedroom but no one responded to their knocks, they broke down the door and found Eva Rausing. Hans Rausing, however, remains at large.

Soft Drink Heir flees from the cops

Hey, bub, here's an idea--take it like a man and show your face at a police station. Don't do the crime if you can't do the time...

I swear, the saying is absolutely right--there's an idiot born every minute--and in this moron's case, one every second.
