A Port Authority of New Jersey and New York officer pulled over 60-year-old Anthony Cotugno of Newark after they say he drove through an E-ZPass lane on the George Washington Bridge without paying a toll on Wednesday.
Police say a records check showed he owes more than $40,700 in tolls and fees at Port Authority crossings and an addition $47,000 in unpaid tolls and fees on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Cotugno is charged with theft of service, toll evasion and a traffic violation. No telephone number was available to seek comment.
