Authorities say a New Jersey man was arrested after racking up over 300 toll violations and failing to pay more than $20,000 in tolls and fees.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said in a statement that James Clicerio, of Old Bridge, New Jersey, was arrested on Thursday after failing to pay a toll at the Outerbridge Crossing connecting Staten Island and Pert Amboy.
Officials say Clicerio was driving a white Mercury SUV when he was pulled over and an officer discovered he had five different EZ Pass accounts and 323 violations.
The fees and violations totaled $20,869.
It’s unclear whether Clicerio has an attorney who can comment on his behalf.
Clicerio faces larceny and obstructing governmental administration charges.

It’s unclear whether Clicerio has an attorney who can comment on his behalf. But is exceedingly clear, that just 4 months in the slammer shall cost the taxpayer more money than all of his unpaid tolls.
#1 And therefore we should let everyone off the hook and no One will pay?!?!
