A sheriff's deputy in Pennington County stopped Gerry Mattison on Nov. 19 for hauling a 36-foot wide shed without proper permits.
Mattison was at the wheel of the flatbed truck and hauling the shed on Center Avenue N. near Thief River Falls when he was stopped, the Minnesota State Patrol said in a Facebook post Thursday.

Mattison was also cited for not having an escort vehicle and various other violations, according to documents filed in Pennington County District Court.
