Police Say Man Flew Plane into His Own Home Hours After Domestic Violence-Related Arrest


Looks like the Cessna CitationJet was taken from the man's employer. Crazy.

A Utah man died when he flew a plane into his home just hours after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting his wife, say police in a KTSU report.

Duane Youd, 47, had been arrested Sunday for domestic violence at about 7:30 p.m., Payson police Sgt. Noemi Sandoval told the outlet. He got out on bail, and returned to the home briefly to pick up some things. Then he allegedly came back – this time in a plane taken from the Spanish Fork Airport.

It was confirmed Monday that his wife and her adult son were inside the residence during the crash at about 2:38 a.m. They survived, and managed to escape not only the crash, but the huge fireball left behind.

Sandoval said they sustained no injuries. She explained there’s not much left of the plane.
