Just saw this story pop up in the local news here, and figured it was somehow appropriate to share with this board:
Man Arrested For Alleged Backhoe Rampage
02.08.02 BYRON (BCN) -- The Contra Costa County Sheriff's Office reports Fridaythat investigators are still trying to figure out why a 42-year-old man allegedlyused a backhoe to plow into two taverns on Byron's Main Street.
Sgt. Ken Hansen now identifies the man arrested on suspicion of felony vandalismin the incident as Daniel Adona of Byron. Authorities earlier today misspelled the man's name.
Adona allegedly used the backhoe around 6:31 p.m. Thursday to damage two tavernsthat are separated by a small open field, authorities said. Adona was taken into custody without incident.
No injuries were reported but both structures sustained heavy damage.
"There are still structures standing, but based on the significant damage done to both,I'd deem them totaled," Hansen said.
Several natural gas lines were severed in the incident, forcing the evacuation of nearby homes.
Hansen said Adona is "well known" in the Byron community. The motive for the allegedbackhoe attack is unknown. Hansen said authorities have not yet confirmed who owns the backhoe.
