A 51-year-old Californian pilot was arrested by Concord police for making repeated low-altitude fly-overs of his ex-girlfriend’s home in a light aircraft.
Tom Huey was arrested after more than a dozen residents of Canterbury Village in Concord, California complained of his aerial displays of obsession, eight in total. He was charged with stalking and violating a domestic violence restraining order.
According to Concord police Capt. Jim Lardieri:
It appears that the motivation behind this situation is the result of a failed domestic relationship.
Other activities that authorities believe might be linked to Huey include leaflets referring to a Canterbury Village woman and that contained a racial slur, and a car windshield that was damaged by a rock; police believe that both the leaflets and the rock could have been dropped from a plane.
A Canterbury village said that one of the fly-overs on Thursday occurred at 4:30 a.m., with the single engine beechcraft flying as low as 250 feet.
