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.

The home, which easily could be mistaken for one that had been destroyed by a tornado, appears to have no external walls intact in the video. Some walls are only partially missing, while others are completely gone. The yard is scattered with shards of wood, windows, insulation and family belonging. Inside the home, food can still be seen sitting on the stove, but the kitchen and most of the other rooms are open to the outside elements.

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

In a statement on Tuesday, the Tompkins County Sheriff’s Department said little about the damage to the house.  more

  • Jesus Christ watched this. They are knocking down walls in hell to make way for these 150 demoniacs. Even the demons already in hell are shaking in their god forsaken coal fired boots waiting for these soon- to arrive.

    • Plenty of room for non believers down there too…..they’re knocking out the walls. ……. boom boom…they’re so busy you can even hear it up here. boom, boom, incessantly

      “….and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness does not overcome it….
      He was in the world and the world was made through him and the world did not know him, He came unto his own and his own did not receive him. but to as many as received Him he gave the power to become children of God, ….. and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1: 4-14.

  • Let this be a lesson to all drunk drivers. Drunk driving doesn’t pay.

    All drunk drivers should suffer the same fate.

  • Gee I wonder why ppl are shooting cops here lately. I dont agree with killing anyone but the police eeverywhere are becoming more violent
