Village People Singer Screwed by (the) Man! by dan

Our friends at the AP just sent me a text message. The “Policeman” from the flaming disco group, “The Village People” is facing jail time. In many circles, the “Policeman” simply goes by the name “Rusty Trombone,” but legally he answers to Victor Willis. And now, young Victor is doomed to a living hell… Jail. A place without privacy. A place where you shower right alongside your soapy, wet, naked jail breathren. A place where promiscuous, unprotected homosexual sex is forced upon poor innocent virgins like Mr. Willis.

What’s all the uproar about? Why’s 54-year-old, Victor “Rusty Trombone” Willis riding the A-train to the slammer? I’ll let the AP do the talking:

Willis was arrested last year on charges of possessing a gun and cocaine, but he disappeared after agreeing to a plea deal that set a maximum sentence of 16 months behind bars… He was re-arrested on Sunday and the singer is due in court on Tuesday

No doubt, Willis was scared. The threat of a living hell–of having naked jail love on a daily basis, sometimes multiple times a day–struck him to the core and he simply had to flee. Yet, here’s the irony. Those lost months on the lam will up Willis’ sentence from 16 months to Four Freaking Years behind bars. It seems that in his fear-clouded mind, young Willis has unknowingly TRIPLED his jail time.
