Police said Hill's luggage was searched on Aug. 15 at the North Platte Regional Airport and methamphetamine and cocaine was found. On Friday, Lincoln County Judge Kent Florum sent him to district court on a felony charge of drug possession.


Hill, portrayed by Ray Liotta in "GoodFellas," had sought refuge in the witness protection program after agreeing to testify against his former mob bosses from New York.


However, he left the witness protection program and now lives in North Platte with his wife, who is from the area. He has been working as a chef and helping establish an Italian restaurant. Hill also wrote "The Wiseguy Cookbook," released in u2002.


In a recent interview with The Associated Press, Hill said he had been addicted to the mobster lifestyle.


"But you overcome it I think. I mean, you succeed," he said.

dude is on howard stern right now and gettin clowned on....

 

[mustynutz]

lnmao....some dude called in and pulled his card like a muthafucka, called him a snitch and a faggot, then another dude called in and said the same thing...sounds like dude is all bad
now there supposed to be setting him up on a fight with this guy Paulie that called in...

damn another dude called in....his exact words "this guy aint nothin...80% of philly guys became rats"

another guy
" the only guys you ever whacked were the ones you wacked off..." and then accused him of wearing women lingerie

and then a caller named Icepick called in and backed him up....yeah that sounded legit...lol

a former gangster with a coolbook...hmmmm.

 

[28g w/o the bag]

this guy is going to get no love in prison.

 

[mustynutz]

yeah they didnt mention anything bout a new drug charge, dude said he's been on parole since like 74 or some shit....and was getting off in 5 weeks...mighta been an old show.

 

[naner12]

this guy is going to get no love in prison.

if he snitched once .. he'll snitch again.

i watched the movie the other day and it said that Jimmy (De Niro) was supposed to get out in either 2003-05 some shit like that. i'm sure he'd want to knock his ass off.

 

[RedStorm]

If you haven't already, I suggest ya'll read "Wiseguy". Like always, the book is better than the movie.

 

[Sydal]

I thought the guy Deniro played died already??

I know the boss died, but I'm pretty sure the cat that Deniro played passed away...I'ma go check.

Henry Hill is a fuckin weenie. There's still an open contract on his head, he may get caught up one day. ESPECIALLY since he's out of protection now, here's the media publishing dudes whereabouts, and dude being a superstar snitch, publishing books and shit. How fuckin dumb can one man be?

 

[mustynutz]

you shoulda heard the people that called in....sounded like oldschool wise guys....lol

 

[DUTCH-F.E]

hmmmm. i dont know... if i were that guy henry hill i would want to be in as many public places as possible. he is gonna get the business.

not sure .. i remember at the end of the movie they said Paulie died in jail. unless Deniro died after the movie was made.

that guy never learned, he got booted from the witness relocation program cuz he got caught with drugs in the first place a long while back they said it in the book i think. None of those mob guy turn snitches ever turn over a new leaf, Sammy The Bull and his son ended up getting hemmed in AZ for distributing extacy. He had an alias and shit but told his dealers if anyone fucks with them tell them that they are working for Sammy the Bull!, just plain stupid. Like Hill said, those guys are stuck with that mob guy mentality. They cant stand the fact they are rats and they all fuck up and most of them probably end up getting killed in prison, karma is a bitch i guess.

^^^^they dont realize that once they go into hiding, they cant reveal their name, and they still want to be known by people for who they once were.

That's what I'm thinking. If someone wanted to get him, he would have been gone by now. I'm sure they knew he was in Nebraska...North Platte isn't a very big town. Plus owning a resturant. I'm sure he hasn't been hard to find.
