GANGLAND FIGURE TOBY MITCHELL SET FOR RELEASE
HOW TOBY MITCHELL DODGED A BULLET
Mitchell was released from jail last month and has wasted no time settling back into life on the outside.
His colourful Instagram posts show he has returned to his City of Ink business in Clarendon St, which King took care of while he was in prison.
Mitchell posted a picture of himself and King on Wednesday, with the caption: “It’s good to be back sitting on the famous white couch @cityofinkmelbourne with business partner and brother Jake the push-up King.”
Since his release, Mitchell has posted pictures of himself on a motorbike, in a white Chevrolet Camaro and boxing at the gym.
The Herald Sun understands the former Bandidos bikie spent much of his jail term in Fulham Prison, near Sale, in Gippsland.
His stint behind bars was incident-free and he was regarded as a model prisoner.
He was jailed in June 2016, for serious drug offences.
The tattoo parlour operator had been busted nine months earlier with 500g of cocaine and methylamphetamine in his Range Rover hire car.
The drugs were found in a footwell of the vehicle during a search by Australian Federal Police.
Mitchell pleaded guilty to two counts of possessing a drug of dependence, possessing an illegal baton and possessing drugs.
At the time, the ex-kickboxing star had been on bail for assaulting a cyclist in a road-rage incident at Docklands.
Mitchell — one of the Melbourne underworld’s most prominent figures — has been shot twice in the past, both times when he was associated with the Bandidos outlaw motorcycle gang.
In November, 2011, he was ambushed at Brunswick and suffered extensive injuries at the hands of a gunman.
Mitchell lost one of his kidneys, his gallbladder and three-quarters of his liver.
In March, 2013, he was again wounded when a Bandido-affiliated clubhouse at Melton was peppered with bullets in a drive-by attack.
That case was not believed to have been an attempt on Mitchell’s life. Mitchell later quit the Bandidos.
At the time of his 2016 arrest, Mitchell had reportedly been in plans to outline his life story in a tell-all TV interview.
It is unclear whether that will now go ahead.
