A Mount Joy Township woman is the Pennsylvania Turnpikes biggest scofflaw, having racked up nearly $92,000 in unpaid tolls and fees for trips between the Harrisburg East and Mechanicsburg interchanges, according to a criminal complaint.
The toll for E-ZPass users who make the 11-mile trip is $1.74, but Lori Yearick allegedly failed to pay any toll more than 1,600 times between January 2012 and March 2017.
Yearick, 45, is scheduled to go before a Dauphin County Common Pleas judge next Tuesday on a felony charge of theft of services, said Ray Morrow, the turnpikes chief of compliance.
Its kind of hard to fight these charges, he said. We have pictures of her driving through each time.
Yearick allegedly failed to pay about $26,000 in tolls. The turnpike also is seeking violation fees totaling $66,000, the complaint says.
Her lawyer, Edward Spreha Jr. of Harrisburg, did not return requests for comment Wednesday.
