A U.S. bankruptcy trustee is asking a judge hold former auto dealer Denny Hecker in contempt of court for failing to turn over personal and business financial records due earlier this week.

Trustee Randy Seaver filed the contempt motion Thursday. He wants the judge to fine Hecker and force him to turn over all the missing records within 24 hours.

The motion comes after Hecker missed an earlier deadline requiring him to produce the records by Wednesday.

Also Thursday, Judge Robert Kressel agreed to let Toyota Motor Sales USA terminate its Brainerd auto dealership agreement with Hecker. Toyota hopes to sell the now-closed dealership, valued at more than $10 million.

Toyota took over the store this summer after Hecker defaulted on loans and failed to pay workers.
