A mover made it to the area of Main Street near Iberia Street with this derelict mobile home before it broke in half Thursday evening. Franklin Police Chief Sabria McGuire said the mover, Herbert Sanders Jr., 83, of Third St., Morgan City, was cited with obstruction of a highway, no proper names or emblems on vehicle and nonproper load. The journey began from a lot on Fourth Street, McGuire said, to a Franklin trailer park that declined to let it in, and finally to where it rested on Main Street, unescorted. The mobile home was being moved as of late morning by a third party.
