The incident happened Aug. 27 when Stephen Goodlow allegedly moved the manufactured home without the license required under state law, according to the State Fire Marshal’s Office.
The home became stuck in the roadway and blocked the highway. It was significantly damaged during the incident and ultimately had to be demolished before crews could remove it from the road, officials said.
Goodlow was cited by the State Fire Marshal’s Office for illegally moving a manufactured home and is scheduled to appear in Scott County Justice Court in October.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol also cited Goodlow at the scene for allegedly operating without a commercial driver’s license and without insurance.
The State Fire Marshal’s Office said the incident serves as a reminder that manufactured homes must be transported by properly licensed movers and in compliance with applicable permitting, licensing, insurance and highway safety requirements.
The charges against Goodlow are allegations, and he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
