Texarkana Man Arrested for Allegedly Ramming ATVs Into Teslas in Targeted Attacks

Demarqeyun Marquize Cox faces felony charges after Tesla cameras captured him ramming vehicles, with investigations into additional damages ongoing.

Demarqeyun Marquize Cox was arrested on March 25, 2025, in Texarkana, Texas, for allegedly ramming his ATV into multiple parked Teslas.
Tesla’s advanced camera system captured footage of Cox intentionally damaging one vehicle, which aided police in identifying and apprehending him.
Cox has been charged with felony criminal mischief and failure to identify, and he is currently being held at the Bi-State Justice Center on a $105,000 bond.
A third damaged Tesla has been reported since Cox’s arrest, and authorities are investigating whether additional charges will be filed.
This incident is part of a broader trend of hostility toward Tesla vehicles, linked to political and social controversies surrounding CEO Elon Musk.
