The rap sheet for one-time disco singer Victor Willis (original lead singer of the Village People) gets longer:

A woman, who described herself as Willis' girlfriend, told police she had been choked and threatened with a knife. The woman told officers that Willis had been abusive and was out on bail on a similar assault charge from last month, police said.

Last year, when Willis was arrested in San Francisco for drug possession, he gave officers a fake name. They didn't know who he was until Willis was fingerprinted.

"Our officers recognized him," said San Diego police Sgt. Jim Schorr. "We knew we had the cop from Village People."

No comment on that last paragraph.
