The well-known Hells Angels member and actor, Chuck Zito, has publicly stated that he will not face prosecution for allegedly operating his vehicle in New York with a fraudulent license plate. He firmly believes that law enforcement has misjudged the situation, asserting his innocence in this matter.
We encountered the “Sons of Anarchy” star while he was enjoying a meal at Mulberry Street Pizzeria in Beverly Hills. During our brief interaction, he confidently informed our photographer that the charges leveled against him had been officially dropped, marking a significant turn of events in his recent legal troubles.
As previously reported, the actor and stuntman faced arrest in November following a traffic stop that took place in The Bronx. Authorities claimed that the Florida dealer plate affixed to his classic 1968 Chevelle SS was counterfeit, leading to charges of misdemeanor possession of a forged license plate against him.
The Bronx District Attorney’s office has confirmed that the prosecutors decided to drop the case against Chuck Zito. He stands by his assertion that the entire situation was unfounded and that the allegations were without merit from the outset.
Chuck firmly believes that the license plate in question was completely valid. Despite this, he recounted a distressing experience of being handcuffed and confined in jail for a grueling ten hours. Additionally, he reported that his vehicle was towed, and he still has not regained possession of his license plate from the police.
In a surprising twist, Chuck Zito has indicated that he is considering pursuing legal action against the NYPD, leaving the door open for potential future developments in this intriguing case.
