A Port Authority patrol officer spotted the suspect’s vehicle and noticed that the car was swerving on the roadway.

The police officer trailed the suspect’s vehicle and saw that the car had a defective taillight. So the Port Authority cop pulled over the suspect’s motor vehicle near the Holland Tunnel.
