Police Ain’t Isht: NY Family Left Homeless After Cops Rip Entire Home Apart While Serving DUI Warrant

Police Tear Home Apart While Serving DUI Warrant

Police in Ithica, NY were so anxious to end a three-day standoff over a DUI warrant that they tore nearly all the walls out of the suspect’s, leaving the family homeless. Via RawStory:

A New York family has been left homeless after law enforcement agencies effectively destroyed their entire house in the process of serving a warrant for a DUI.

The Ithaca Journal reported this week that 36-year-old David M. Cady Jr. had died after being barricaded in his home for three days.

After Cady missed court dates for a DUI over the summer, a warrant had been issued, and the Tompkins County Sheriff Ken Lansing said that the suspect was convinced that he would go to jail. Authorities said that they had reason to believe that Cady had been traveling to Pennsylvania to purchase ammunition so he would be ready when deputies arrived.

Deputies attempted to serve the warrant at around 7 p.m. on Dec. 30, which led to a three day standoff with Cady. Autopsy results later indicated that Cady died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The suspect’s wife, Melissa, and two sons were not harmed.

Video that began circulating on Tuesday showed the damage caused to the Cady home when the 18 law enforcement agencies decided to go in after the suspect.

Up to 150 law enforcement and emergency personnel reportedly participated in the operation.

There must be absolutely NOTHING else going on in this town if they can spare 150 cops to get ONE man out of a house…over a DUI. SMH.
