A toll cheat crackdown on the George Washington Bridge netted seven scofflaws in four hours — including one driver who owed nearly $80,000, cops said Tuesday.
Jerome Daly, 58, of Teaneck, N.J., was hit with criminal charges after he racked up 1,260 toll violations, leading to a $79,423 debt to the Port Authority, officials said. Daly’s unpaid tolls amounted to $16,423, with the remaining $63,000 coming from fees, according to Port Authority spokesman Joseph Pentangelo.
Port Authority cops ran the crackdown from 4 a.m. to about 8:15 a.m., Pentangelo said. All told, the seven accused cheaters owe $207,010.
Trucker Aleksanda Kotevski, 58, of Garfield, N.J., was hit with a disorderly persons offense after cops determined the company he was driving for, Bucephal USA LLC, owed more than $61,000.
Drivers owe $114M in unpaid E-ZPass tolls
“Toll cheats break the law at the expense of the vast majority of law-abiding motorists,” said PA director Patrick Foye.
