Cops: Man Impersonated Brother to Avoid $7K in Unpaid Tolls
FORT LEE, N.J. — Jul 30, 2015, 5:07 PM ET
say a New Jersey motorist assumed his brother's identity to avoid $7,500 in unpaid tolls after he was stopped for not paying another toll on the George Washington Bridge.
A spokesman for Port Authority of New York and New Jersey police says officers arrested the man after finding cocaine in his pocket June 15. He was released with a court date.
Spokesman Joe Pentangelo says officers soon realized the man had produced a fictitious ID with his photo and his brother's name to avoid $7,500 in unpaid tolls.
State police arrested the suspect Wednesday in Bellmawr.
Authorities have charged 44-year-old Richard Boyce with wrongful impersonation, theft, hindering apprehension and cocaine possession.
It isn't clear if he has a lawyer who can comment on the charges.
