HE calls himself Solitary Son. The police call him Lizard Man.
Either way, Bronson Ellery is back behind bars after being arrested by officers from Taskforce Takeback yesterday.
The 22-year-old Bandido has been charged with perverting the cause of justice after allegedly trying to force a man to drop charges against an associate.
Police will allege the outspoken bikie “enforcer” and wannabe musician was caught on tape threatening the victim to withdraw the charges or “there will be trouble”.

“We followed you,” he is alleged to have said. “We know where you live. We know where you work.”
The victim taped the conversation and handed the recording to police.
Taskforce Takeback Inspector Shane Holmes said the charges relate to an incident on April 30, when the victim’s car was vandalised at a shopping centre.
Every panel was damaged, with threats and obscene language carved into the paintwork, causing more than $2000 damage.
The victim copied shopping centre security footage and made a formal complaint to police.
A 20-year-old man was charged with wilful damage and the footage showed Ellery was allegedly present at the time the vandalism was committed.
On May 4, Ellery is alleged to have made threats against the victim, who taped the conversation.
Yesterday, Ellery was arrested at Coomera and charged with wilful damage, attempting to pervert the cause of justice and two counts of breach of bail.

The charges and the alleged threats come in the wake of a television interview in which Ellery claimed to have left the Bandidos after the murder of close friend Max Waller last year.
“It was bad,” he said in the report on May 1. “I didn’t expect that to happen. He didn’t deserve that.”
The report claimed Ellery had left the criminal underworld and his mother, Suzi, protests her son is “no bikie”, just a young man who “loves tattoos” and has managed to cover most of his body with ink at a very early age.
“I’ve only one goal, to have my music heard by the whole world and be famous doing music,” he said.
Police said the bikie hoped the arrest would be covered in the media to increase exposure to his single, In Memory of Us.
It has received a mixed reception, with critics panning the singing, production and quality of the single.
“I hope that dude reads these comments, gains some self-awareness, and goes to a trade school or something,” one wrote on social media.
