Is he microchipped? If you explained the circumstances maybe they'll exempt you from having the tags on Chico provided he can be identified by microchip.
Another option is to get a slightly larger soft collar and put it loosely around his waist. It sounds odd, but I've seen people use that method for dogs with throat/neck issues. The only problem is that you'd normally take it off when he's inside and if his escapes are made out a door to the outside he still wouldn't have tags on him when he got out..
