Police: California pilot stalked ex-girlfriend with plane

CONCORD, Calif. (AP) - Police have arrested a California pilot who they say stalked his ex-girlfriend by repeatedly flying his plane low over her house.

Concord police Sgt. Tiffiny Leftwich says Tom Huey made several low passes over a residential neighborhood Wednesday evening.

A dozen residents called police to complain. Huey was arrested shortly after landing the Beech single-engine aircraft.

Leftwich says police have been investigating reports of a low-flying plane in the area for more than a year.

Huey's girlfriend filed for a restraining order last year, but he was not served until Wednesday afternoon.

Huey is being held on $155,000 bail on suspicion of felony stalking and violating a restraining order.
