A New Jersey woman was arrested, accused of failing to pay tolls on her EZ Pass account.Port Authority Police said they tried to stop the suspect after they learned her EZ Pass account owed more than $16,000.00According to the Port Authority Police Department, on Wednesday, Denise Simien, 55, of Verona, N.J., was driving a 2007 Toyota SUV and ignored police instructions to stop.Police said she eventually was pulled over by another Port Authority officer near the Holland Tunnel entrance.Simien is accused of failing to pay EZ Pass tolls at Port Authority crossings more than 250 times with a total amount owed of $16,633.She was charged with theft of services and obstruction of justice, and is due back in Jersey City Court July 19. ||||| An eagle-eyed cop hit the scofflaw jackpot after pulling over a motorist for a routine infraction — and discovering the driver had more than $12,000 in unpaid tolls and penalties, official said Wednesday. 
 
 Oscar Sanchez, 45, was headed east into the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City on Tuesday afternoon when Port Authority Police Officer Tomasz Grel noticed he didn’t have a front license plate and traveled through an E-ZPass lane as the “toll unpaid” sign lit up, authorities said. 
 
 Sanchez’s 2001 Mercedes-Benz was pulled over and Grel found that the suspect didn’t have an E-ZPass in his window, officials said. Sanchez insisted that he still pays tolls, even without the E-ZPass, saying, “I don’t have it (an E-ZPass device) but they always charge my tag,” according to the Port Authority. 
 
 But a routine driver’s license check showed that Sanchez was wanted for allegedly beating local bridge and tunnel tolls 204 times, officials said. That added up to $2,771 in unpaid tolls and $10,200 in penalties. 
 
 The Jersey City resident Sanchez was arrested and charged with alleged theft of service, driving without a front license plate and driving with a suspended license. Sanchez had a valid New York license but records showed his New Jersey driving privileges had been suspended. 
 
 He was released without bail and ordered to appear in a Jersey City courtroom on Tuesday of next week.
– Authorities in New York and New Jersey have arrested a trio of scofflaws for allegedly racking up more than $130,000 in unpaid tolls and fines, the New York Daily News reports. Denise Simien was the most recent suspect to be nabbed. Authorities say she took the Holland Tunnel more than 500 times without paying the toll (though WABC puts the number closer to 250), racking up more than $16,000 in unpaid tolls and fees. The 55-year-old New Jersey woman allegedly added one more to her tally, attempting to flee police through the Holland Tunnel on Wednesday…without paying the toll, the Jersey Journal reports. Earlier this month, authorities arrested 34-year-old Willie Reyes and 45-year-old Spirdon Fragoulis for racking up unpaid tolls and fees on their E-Z Passes. Authorities say Reyes owes more than $37,000. Tow-truck driver Fragoulis allegedly failed to pay his tolls 850 times and owes more than $78,000. "These motorists are the most prolific that we have seen at this time," a spokesperson for the Port Authority tells the Daily News. "When we have repeat offenders the Port Authority makes even greater effort to crackdown."
