Seems like they Sheriff could have had it towed off the highway and had her billed.

"She said she thought the man she hired to move her home knew what he was doing. Chris "Pancake" Meyers told her, she said, that he had more than 13 years' experience in hauling things and that he had the proper permits and insurance for the move. (She didn't ask to see proof of insurance or a permit, she said."

If there's a lesson to be learned .... don't ever hire someone to move you with a name like "Pancake."

Did you actually read the story? Here, let me help:

Lee Roberts, owner of Roberts Heavy-Duty Towing in Lexington, said his company was called in to help. "We tried to pull the trailer back on the road but couldn't without tearing it to pieces."

According to the article, that option was attempted using professional equipment and a licensed, insured towing company - but that option ultimately did not work either.

She claims she lost a $5,000 home in her little poorly planned escapade - I wonder how much money her nine hour standoff with reality cost the people trapped behind her who were trying to get to work, deliver goods, etc.

Tens of thousands, at least.

Doesn’t seem to be a wealth of brains in this county, does there?
