A FETISHIST who once ran for political office and enjoys a bizarre sexual activity called 'cranking' was accused of joyriding on Valentine's Day.

Jordan Haskins, 26, has a criminal history surrounding a kink known as 'cranking' - where he removes a vehicle's spark plug wires to make the vehicle vibrate to help reach sexual self-gratification.

Haskins, who once ran for a Michigan House seat as a Republican candidate, faces seven felony charges after allegedly taking four vehicles awaiting repairs at Martin Chevrolet in Thomas Township, Michigan, and going for a joyride.

Thomas Township Police Sgt. Al Fong told Michigan Live: "This person took some vehicles from the body shop and drove around the back lot area, damaging the vehicles and jumping over hills.

"It was a joy ride."

Cops said they do not believe Haskins was 'cranking' during the latest incident.

Fong said an employee arriving for work at the dealership told police about the incident and saw the car the suspect drove away in.

Haskins was arrested soon after.

In April 2010 Haskins was arrested over an incident where he broke into a pick-up truck at Saginaw County Mosquito Control and pulled wires from the engine.

According to a police report, when asked why he did it he replied "to masturbate".

Haskins faces five counts of unlawfully driving away an automobile, one count of malicious destruction of property and one count of breaking and entering into a building with intent to commit unlawfully driving away an automobile.

He is being held in the Saginaw County Jail on $40,000 (£32,000) bond.
