Texas man arrested for vandalizing multiple Teslas

DISCLAIMER: All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty.

TEXARKANA, Texas (KTAL/KMSS)—Texarkana police arrested a man suspected of vandalizing three Tesla vehicles. The TTPD says the incidents occurred at different locations in a relatively short time frame.

The TTPD believes that 33-year-old Demarqeyun Cox is responsible for all of the incidents.

It started with a call about a damaged Tesla in the parking lot of a restaurant on Summerhill Road. There, investigators obtained security footage of the suspect ramming into the Tesla with a mini four-wheeler at full speed.

“We were in the area kind of looking for that. In the meantime, we got a call at Lowe’s about vandalism to a Tesla there,” said Shawn Vaughn with TTPD.

Police eventually spotted Cox on his four-wheeler near Summerhill and New Boston Roads and arrested him.

“We kind of have an idea of where we’re going to be able to find the guy because some of the officers kind of recognize the description, and we’ve got a picture of him, so we know what he looks like at that point there. We were able to find him, still on the same four-wheeler, riding there at the Little Caesars on Summer Hill Road,” says Vaughn.

After his arrest, another vandalism incident was discovered at a clinic on College Drive.

“The first one was rammed, the second two, he actually used some kind of tool that he scratched paint, and he scratched Elon into the paint of the vehicles there,” says Vaughn.

When questioned by police, Cox initially gave a fake name, which added Failure to Identify to his charge of Felony Criminal Mischief.

His bond has been set at $105,000, and he is still in the Bi-state Jail.
