Vilage People policeman fails to show for sentencing

Victor Willis, the original policeman in the ’70s disco band the Village People, skipped a court hearing in California where he was due to be sentenced on drug and gun charges and now faces more than three years in prison, prosecutors said.

Willis, 54, had been scheduled to surrender yesterday after four months on the run but he failed to show up for the hearing in San Mateo County Superior Court, prosecutors said.
