Truck's license plate was allegedly concealed
FORT LEE -- A 40-year-old truck driver was arrested Monday night after he drove through the George Washington Bridge toll lane with an obscured license plate in an attempt to skip paying the toll, Port Authority spokesman Joe Pentangelo said.
Police stopped the Freightliner tractor trailer around 7 p.m. after officers noticed the front license plate was attached to the grill with zip ties and flipped up, concealing the front of the plate, Pentangelo said. The plate was also partly covered with duct tape, Pentangelo said.
Scott Dockham, of Richland Hills, Tex., who failed to pay the toll, was charged with theft of services and tampering with public records, the Port Authority also said.
