FORT LEE, N.J. — Authorities say they've nabbed two New Jersey residents who have racked up a total of about $30,000 in unpaid tolls.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said officers pulled over Englewood resident John Reynolds on Wednesday morning after seeing him pass through the E-ZPass lane of the George Washington Bridge while pretending his cellphone was a transponder.
Authorities said the car had about 300 toll violations, totaling about $19,000.
The next morning, officers stopped North Plainfield resident Lucy Sanchez on the bridge after police say she passed through without paying a toll.
Police said Sanchez didn't have a driver's license and had nearly 150 toll violations, totaling about $9,000.
Both are charged with theft of service and evading tolls.
It's not known if they have lawyers.
