The Grays Harbor County sheriff has a new record for the largest vehicle citation ever issued -- nearly $17,000.

Undersheriff Rick Scott says a deputy pulled over a large truck Wednesday transporting a massive piece of logging equipment in the Kalaloch (KLAY'-lock) area. Scott says the equipment was not properly secured and the truck was overloaded by 66,600-pounds.

That resulted in a citation for $16,929.
