Famous Hells Angels biker Chuck Zito was arrested, fingerprinted and mugged in NYC – and it was all because his vehicle had an illegal license plate.

In an Instagram post Monday, Zito angrily wrote that he was pulled over in his vintage 1968 Chevelle SS by NYPD patrol cars while traveling on a freeway in The Bronx on his way to a store on Long Island.

Zito says a female officer informed him his Florida license plate was illegal, but Chuck claims he showed her his car registration and insurance card, which matched the plate.


Chuck says he was pulled over to the 45th Precinct stationhouse in the Throggs Neck neighborhood, where he says he was “booked, fingerprinted and mugshots taken.”

Chuck says he was also placed in a 4×8 cell with 5 other men, but was later moved to another room and handcuffed to a bench for 4 hours until he was finally released without bail on charges of having a forged instrument.

He called the experience “a HELLAVA DAY.”

NYPD sources partially confirmed Chuck’s account, telling TMZ … the patrol officer pulled Zito over after seeing him behind the wheel of his Chevelle with a “dealer plate.” We’re told the officer ran the plate, which turned out to be fake. Chuck was then arrested for misdemeanor possession of a forged license plate.
