RO Spins Rubber Onto Lexus Attempting To Drive Off Lift

Boardman, Ohio police are investigating after a report of potential damage to cars while a vehicle was being repossessed.

The incident occurred around 4 p.m. Wednesday at the Tiffany Boulevard shopping center. Police say a person’s car was being repossessed and was hooked to be towed when the driver got into his car and tried to accelerate.

According to the report, the car didn’t move but began to spin its tires, creating smoke and throwing hot rubber onto nearby cars while the tire exploded.

The debris landed on a 2021 Lexus that was parked next to the repossessed vehicle, causing discolorations in the Lexus’s finish.

The owner of the repossessed car told police he had only missed a few payments and didn’t believe it was acceptable that his car was being taken.

No charges have been filed.
