Texarkana man crashes mini four-wheeler into Teslas, carves 'Elon' into vehicles
A 33-year-old Texarkana man, Demarqeyun Cox, is facing felony criminal mischief charges after a wild series of Tesla attacks—caught entirely on camera. Surveillance footage shows Cox crashing a mini four-wheeler into multiple Teslas, including one outside Golden Palace restaurant, where he rammed a vehicle at full speed before speeding off. 'I was inside having lunch when my phone alerted me,' said Virita Carstaffin, the owner of one of the damaged Teslas. 'It's going to cost over $1,000 just to fix the front door.' She also confirmed she had no connection to Cox. Later that same day, officers identified Cox riding the same four-wheeler near Summerhill and New Boston roads. 'He gave a fake name, which they quickly figured out wasn't real,' said Texarkana Police Department PIO Shawn Vaughn. 'Based on the surveillance video, they knew for a fact he was the one who at least hit the initial Tesla.' But the vandalism spree didn't stop there. Authorities believe Cox also targeted Teslas at Lowe's on Walton Drive and Genesis Prime Care on College Drive—this time reportedly using a sharp object to carve the name 'Elon' into the side of the vehicles. Cox is now being held in Bi-State Jail with his bond set at $105,000. The motive remains unclear, but one thing's certain: his anti-Tesla stunt has left a bizarre mark on the city—and a few very expensive repair bills.

Man On Homemade Four Wheeler Caught Purposely Ramming Parked Teslas
Read the full story on The Auto Wire The trend of people randomly vandalizing Teslas in some twisted act of so-called justice continues, this time with a guy using his weird homemade four wheeler to ram into several of them. While the video of this guy running into a parked Cybertruck is comical, what isn't funny is the fact this guy and so many other people think vandalism is the way to express their to Texarkana Police Department in Texas, 33-year-old Demarqeyun Cox has been accused of purposely damaging several Teslas across the city on March 25. Apparently, the guy didn't realize the electric cars have security cameras which record when they're parked, so what he did was documented. — Davy Jones (@itsNTBmedia) March 26, 2025 Police started receiving reports of a man on a mini four wheeler ramming into the parked EVs at full speed, damaging their body panels. As you can see from one of the Teslas' cameras, Cox almost goes flying off his four wheeler on impact, he hits it so hard. As reports kept coming in of a man on a four wheeler attacking electric cars, an officer spotted Cox on the homemade contraption, stopping him for questioning. Police say Cox initially gave a fake name, which is just a dumb thing to do since that alone could result in criminal charges (or so we've been told), but the officer was able to identify him, then took the guy into custody. While Cox could be facing more criminal charges, police say so far he's been hit with a single felony for Criminal Mischief and Failure to Identify. Apparently, investigators have only been able to connect him with the ramming of the Cybertruck, which was caught on camera. We're assuming the other Teslas also had Sentry Mode activated, so they would also have recorded the ramming. In other words, the guy could be hit with several felony charges. He's currently in jail. Let this be a warning to anyone else who gets the brilliant idea to take their blind hatred of Elon Musk out on some random person's Tesla. As we said before, we have zero sympathy for that behavior even though we're not huge Tesla fans. The same goes for destroying or damaging any vehicle out of spite – it's just plain wrong.
