Man Arrested for Placing Bottles at Lincoln Tunnel

After three incidents where bottles have been placed outside the outbound Lincoln Tunnel--ensnaring commuters in hours of delays as the Port Authority police investigated--the authorities have finally made an arrest. The Jersey Journal reports that 39-year-old Lawrence Fellilppello of Vernon, NJ was charged with making a terroristic threat and the police are also looking for a second person. As for how the case was cracked: "Port Authority police had put out information concerning the type of device recovered and another police agency realized they had made a motor vehicle stop some time ago where they had seen similar items in a vehicle."

    That's actually rather impressive. The police saw similar items "some time ago" and were still able to remember whose car it was? I wonder if they write down trivia like that in their reports.

    He should have worn a sign that said "Don't look at me".

    Good cooperative police work. Now take the guy out and shoot him.
