Youngest Ever Hells Angels President Made Member at Age 20 in Chicago

#303 Mel Chancey - Youngest President in Hells Angels History
What was said
"I became a member. They made me a member. I was 20 turning 21. I was 20. And then they made me the Sergeant of Arms about a year later. Now I'm an officer for the club at 21 years old. Then made me the president when I was 24 years old."
Mel Chancey became a full-patch Hells Angels member in 1989 at age 20 after less than a year as a prospect, making him among the youngest in club history. Within a year he was promoted to Sergeant at Arms (chief enforcer) and by 24 became president of the Chicago chapter during the height of a violent territorial war with the Outlaws that involved bombings, shootings, and multiple murders. He held the role during the merger from Hell's Henchmen to Hells Angels.
