A New Jersey man is being held on forgery, theft and weapons charges after attempting to gain access to a restricted entrance of the George Washington Bridge
Daniel Czerepak, 29, was arrested by Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police following an attempt to gain access to the bridge, which connects New Jersey to Manhattan Island, with a fake ID while posing as a Port Authority subcontractor. A subsequent search of Czerepak's home turned up five 30-round rifle magazines and one 15-round magazine. New Jersey law limits magazine capacity to 10 rounds of ammunition.
""He's conducting reconnaissance, he's learning with each approach to the bridge, and he's keeping track of what he's learning," Gorzelany said.Czerepak was stopped September 19 at a private access point on the New Jersey side of the bridge, a source familiar with the investigation told CNN on Wednesday. The access point was guarded by a private security firm, which called the police when Czerepak showed a fake ID.
