NAPLES, FLORIDA - A videotape shows that three men who were detained as suspected terrorists last week paid a highway toll shortly before they were stopped by a sheriff's deputy. <br>
<br>
An Alligator Alley tollbooth attendant first told authorities that one driver -- Kambiz Butt -- ran the gate but changed her account after seeing the video. <br>
<br>
Collier County Sheriff Don Hunter saya he voided the $126 citation after a security video showed the drivers of the two vehicles stopping to pay the toll. <br>
<br>
Hunter says the tollkeeper was nervous about spotting the car mentioned in a police bulletin about a suspected terrorism plot, and she is shown in the video trying to flag down someone to alert them to the car. <br>
<br>
The threat turned out to be a false alarm.
