Louie Vito has been widely reported by the New Zealand press and in the U.S. social media underground to have been arrested for pot possession in New Zealand on August 1st. He was travelling in a party van with notorious bad boy, Danny Kass, when the NZ police stopped them. They reportedly “got off” from these charges by donating to a NZ charity. To date, this story has not been covered by the mainstream U.S. press.
