PAYSON — A man died when he flew a small airplane into his own home early Monday morning following a domestic dispute, police said.

The deceased is identified as Duane Youd, according to Payson Police Sgt. Noemi Sandoval.

Police arrested Youd about 7:30 p.m. Sunday following a domestic dispute in American Fork Canyon, Sandoval said. He was released from the Utah County Jail on bail, then followed procedure in requesting a police escort to retrieve belongings at the home near 600 E. Canyon Road about midnight.

A short time later, Youd flew a plane belonging to a company he had worked for from the Spanish Fork airport and crashed it into his home about 2:30 a.m. Youd died on scene, and his wife and a juvenile inside the home escaped safely, Sandoval said.

On the flip side.... wow, he was a pretty good pilot to pull that off at 2:30 at night.... Too bad he used that skill so horribly.

[catnipman]

well, at least he got all his stuff out of the house before killing himself ... there is that ...

Normally you don’t refer to a cessna Citation as a small plane.

Anybody see Harrison Ford lately?

If they had, in this case, which they did not...

It would have been researched and dismissed in very short order.

It’s what they do.

What a dumb putz...

[blueplum]

zilch on that creativity score - Seattle copycat - stealing a plane and crashing it for a stupid reason was already done. He doesn’t even earn a Darwin award.

Youd died on scene

And what about the editors?!

[Deaf Smith]

Reference from Secondhand Lions...he died with his boots on.

Are Pelosi and Schumer proposing banning private aircraft yet?

Just found out the man is the uncle of my nephew’s wife. I wondered when I saw the guy’s last name -Youd. Not common & general location is where her family is from. Very sad for the family.
