The Police Kick the MADDness of MADD up a notch~ Tompkins County Sherriffs Department calls SWAT team in to Destroy a NY House in Order to Serve a Warrant on a Man for a DUI, Family Left Homeless ~ According to The Ithaca Journal, 36-year-old David M. Cady Jr. had recently missed court dates relating to a DUI arrest, and a warrant was issued for his arrest. At around 7 p.m. on December 30th, police arrived at Cady’s house to serve a warrant, but he refused to leave his home because he was afraid of going to jail. Cady’s wife, Melissa, and their two son’s were also in the house at the time of the raid. Police then pulled hundreds of officers from at least 18 different local police departments and staged a 3 day siege of the family’s home. The Tompkins County Sheriff’s Department made a statement which glossed over the destruction of the home, saying only that they “breached the outside area of the house.” In the statement, they said: “Eventually, law enforcement knew and anticipated needing to enter the residence, in order to take the subject into custody. Based upon the information being developed through interviews and practices used by other agencies in the past, it became necessary to breech part of the outside area of the house to ensure the safety of all involved.” Whether or not you agree with Cady’s decision to hide from police on his property, the police had no right to demolish his home and leave his wife Melissa and family homeless. “She really has lost all the stability in her life in one fell swoop, so she will have to go through quite a period of readjustment. It’s pretty traumatic — this is awful stuff we’re dealing with,” Danby Federated Church pastor Ed Enstine told The Ithaca Voice. “She’s basically lived her own life and worked and doesn’t take handouts very easily, but in this case she’s basically back to square 1 … square 0, at this point. We’re all just trying to figure out how to do something,” Enstine added. See the destruction in the same attached link~
