Jealous husband uses backhoe to crush dozens of demolition derby cars

An angry husband is facing charges after using a backhoe to smash dozens of cars owned by a New York company that stages demolition derbies.

"He believed somebody at that business was having an affair with his wife," Wayne County Sheriff's Chief Deputy Robert Hetzke said. "Him and his wife were going through some marital issues."

Police records show suspect Michael Fagner has faced at least one domestic violence complaint against his wife before. This time police say he took out his anger on 30 demolition derby cars.

"The demolition derby part of it was different," Hetzke said. "The number of vehicles was definitely different than the normal domestic dispute." The damage is pretty impressive.

Police say Fagner took a backhoe and smashed down most of the roofs on most of the cars.

On one he went a little bit further when he took the backhoe and flipped the car altogether.
