Ice-T Arrested After Failing to Pay Bridge Toll

by Associated Press

   FORT LEE, NEW JERSEY --

   Police have arrested Ice-T after he failed to pay a toll at the George
   Washington Bridge.

   Authorities say the actor and rapper was ticketed for theft of services
   Wednesday when he drove through an E-ZPass lane leading to the span
   connecting New Jersey and New York. The 60-year-old, whose real name is
   Tracy Marrow, was driving a new McLaren sports car and was also
   ticketed for not having license plates and registration.

   Ice-T reportedly forgot his electronic toll transponder and has them
   for his other vehicles.

   Ice-T tweeted "Cops went a little Extra. Coulda just wrote a ticket. In
   and out...Moovin."

   He later tweeted a photo of himself filming scenes in Manhattan for Law
   & Order: Special Victims Unit, in which he plays Sgt. Odafin Tutuola.
