Chuck Zito Arrested in NYC Over Fake License Plate

Chuck Zito, the famous Hells Angels biker, was arrested in New York City on Monday after a run-in with the NYPD over a questionable license plate. Zito was driving his classic 1968 Chevelle SS through The Bronx when police pulled him over. According to Zito, a female officer told him that his Florida license plate was illegal. Despite presenting his car registration and insurance, which matched the plate, Zito was taken to the 45th Precinct stationhouse in Throggs Neck.

Once there, Zito was booked, fingerprinted, and had a mug shot taken. He was also placed in a cramped cell with five other men before being moved to another room. Zito was cuffed to a bench and left for four hours. Eventually, he was released without bail, facing a charge of possessing a forged instrument.

According to NYPD sources, Zito was initially stopped for having a “dealer plate,” which turned out to be fake when checked by the officer. This led to his arrest on a misdemeanor charge of possessing a forged license plate. Zito described the experience as “one HELLAVA DAY,” expressing frustration over the ordeal.
