Henry Hill, who was the central character in Martin Scorsese's classic 1990 mobster film
Goodfellas, is back in trouble with the law. The elderly one time Mafioso-turned-snitch has been arrested yet again on public intoxication charges stemming from an incident in which he appeared at a Larry Flynt strip club to sign autographs.
