Upon asking for his driver's license, police discovered that Rodriguez E-ZPass accounts had been revoked thanks in part to a massive outstanding balance.

That balance being $56,240 thanks to a whopping 888 toll violations, according to the New York Post.

The man was then turned over to police in Teaneck, New Jersey, once authorities realized he also had an outstanding warrant there.
