Anybody arrested over some shit like parking violations or anything?

I love stories like this. The hustle never ends hahaha.

I dont think anything comes close to someone caught talking about criminal activity on a telephone or in their car.

When Massino was on the lam he was caught shoplifting a bottle of aspirin.

Chucky Merlino bribing a cop for a driving violation is fu**ing stupid.

So far I think the one with Massino and the Aspirin takes the lead although Joey bribing a cop for a parking violation is a close second

Chin was indicted attempted to bribe an entire police station in NJ in the 60's. But he beat it on not being able to attend trial.

Was that the thing where he sent them a Christmas card with some money in it? I wonder if it was not just a setup for future insanity defense.

Wasn't one of the Philadelphia guys caught in a car with a gay lover in some park somewhere?

One summer in Margate, Marty Angelina had to spend the night in jail for drunk and disorderly. When the cop was leading him to the station lobby the next morning to release him, Angelina spat in the cop's eye and promptly got rearrested.

Gotti and the Romual Piecyk parking incident. Not surprising coming from Gotti lol

Catching, not pitching?

We can’t have him here in our social club no more. That much I do know.
