NJ Police Charge Truck Company Owner with Theft of $1 Million in Tolls and Fees

NJ.com (not to mention many other news organizations) reports, “A New Jersey man was arrested while boarding a flight for a vacation in Aruba after police found his trucking company owed more than $1 million in unpaid tolls, authorities said.” The 34-year-old man ran a Jersey City company — inaptly named Do It Right Trucking — “that sent 100 trucks through more than 100 toll booths a day” using what the state police called “a delinquent E-Z Pass account.” An attorney for the man describes his nonpayment problem as “clerical in nature” and “oversight at worst.”
