Ignored warnings
Just days in advance, police had tried to warn a 46-year-old man against trying to move his 160-square-foot house.
They told him that he needed permission – and not least help – to do so, but he did not listen.
The man got a truck and a truck.
As soon as darkness fell, he and a friend set about moving the house.

Tear down mailboxes and signs
– During the move down Coteau Holmes Road, several mailboxes, road signs and trees were damaged, the police write in a press release.
Not only that – the duo also managed to tear down several power lines during the move.
According to the local channel KLFY, this ended with 700 inhabitants being without electricity for several hours.

Dumped the house on the road
The men probably realized that the house move was not going to work, and dumped both the house, the truck and the truck on the road before they ran off.
Police spokeswoman Katherine Breaux tells Newsweek that the 46-year-old bought the house in 2021, and that he tried to move it to his own property, which is three to four kilometers away.
She says that the man first transported the house over a field.
– Then the journey continued to a road, and then a state highway, and then back on a road.

Do not escape
The comrades were arrested a few hours after the house dumping, and are now charged with several offenses, including property damage, obstruction of a motorway, and for violating local regulations.
The men are in custody on bail of 125,000 dollars, ie over 1.1 million kroner.
According to the local channel KATC, it is expected that the two will be charged with even more offenses after the move.
