The Buzz | Driver owes nearly USD51,000 in unpaid tolls, fees

Transit police say they’ve arrested a New Jersey man who owes nearly USD51,000 in unpaid tolls and fees.

Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police say Tai Denunzio was arrested earlier this week at the Lincoln Tunnel in Weehawken, just outside New York City.

The 50-year-old man from West New York, New Jersey, is charged with theft. It wasn’t known yesterday if he’s retained an attorney.

Authorities say Denunzio owes $10,850 in tolls and $40,100 in fees as the result of 802 electronic toll payment violations.
