I've lost track of this story, but this seems to be new news. Former Village People police man Victor Willis who, you'll remember, went on the run after being charged with various drugs offences, has now apparently reached a 'plea deal' which will see him plead no contest to cocaine possession charges in return for a lenient sentence - which could be two years in jail, but which is more likely to be six months prison time followed by a compulsory rehab programme. Willis' lawyer told reporters this week: "His plans are, first of all, to deal with his addiction. After that, he hopes to get back into creating again". It's a shame Willis didn't get caught possessing cocaine in Dubai - then a friendly US senator could have helped him get a full pardon. That's how it works, right?
