SAN BERNARDINO – A mobster-turned-FBI informant whose life inspired the movie “Goodfellas” is wanted for failing to appear in court on tickets alleging he was drunk in public in San Bernardino.

Henry Hill, once linked to a $5.8 million airport heist, is facing two, $25,000 arrest warrants.

Hill, 65, said he was not aware he needed to be present in court Wednesday. He also said he told court clerks Monday that he wanted a new hearing date because he was having hernia surgery.

The “Goodfellas” movie ends with Hill, played by Ray Liotta, entering federal witness protection after implicating fellow mobsters in murders and the 1978 heist of $5.8 million in cash from a Lufthansa Airlines vault in New York.

Drug arrests led to Hill being removed from the federal program in the early 1990s.
