An incident at a car dealership in central Ohio reportedly began as a routine test drive and allegedly turned into an abduction that left a sales employee fearing for her safety.

According to reports, the situation started in mid-December at a luxury car dealership in Marysville. A man allegedly walked into the dealership and asked to test drive a Jeep Wrangler. A female sales associate agreed to go along for the drive, as is standard practice.

Once they left the dealership, the situation reportedly began to change. Instead of following the normal test drive route, the man allegedly drove in a different direction. The associate reportedly noticed the change and asked to return to the dealership. The man stopped the vehicle near a warehouse area close to railroad tracks and allegedly remained parked for several minutes.

A Florida man is facing felony charges for allegedly causing approximately $20,000 worth of damage to a Tesla Cybertruck during an unauthorized two-day test drive.

The incident began on November 17, when a 26-year-old local man visited the Tesla store and service center in St. Petersburg, and wanted to test drive the vehicle. He was allotted 30 minutes to take the truck out, but the man reportedly kept the vehicle without permission until it was found damaged at his residence two days later.

According to reports, the assistant manager of the store was able to track down and collect the truck from the man’s residence. Extensive damage was seen on the vehicle, including a broken rearview mirror and camera, a missing GPS unit, and a missing sun visor, as well as two damaged fender flares. It was also reported that the Florida dealer tag was no longer on the truck. The authorities were notified, and the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office began investigating the situation.
