THOMAS TWP, MI -- A Mid-Michigan auto dealership is seeking about $38,000 from a 27-year-old man with a "cranking" fetish who took a joyride with at least six of their vehicles earlier this year, according to the lawsuit.

Jordan Haskins, who pleaded guilty to all seven felonies in the incident and was sentenced May 5 to probation and mental heath treatment, has yet to respond to the lawsuit and now faces a default judgment against him.

Haskins is a habitual offender with a criminal history of multiple incidents involving a fetish he has referred to as "cranking." The act entails removing a vehicle's spark plug wires to make the vehicle run roughly to help reach sexual self-gratification.

Unlike those incidents, police do not believe Haskins was "cranking" when they said he took four vehicles awaiting repairs at the body shop of Martin Chevrolet on 8800 Gratiot Road for a joyride.

"This person took some vehicles from the body shop and drove around the back lot area, damaging the vehicles and jumping over hills," Thomas Township Police Sgt. Al Fong said at the time. "It was a joyride."

According to the arrest warrant, the vehicles damaged were a 2011 red Chevrolet Silverado, a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox.

The lawsuit against Haskins states he rode around in at least six vehicles damaged only four.

The lawsuit against Haskins by Martin Chevrolet was filed in early August. The dealership's attorney, Donald A. Gilbert, stated in the suit that the damages caused by the break-in and joyride totaled $12,129.55.

However, citing a law used for victims of theft, embezzlement, or conversion of property, Gilbert said the dealership is seeking three times that damages figure, claiming Haskins "unlawfully converted and asserted dominance over vehicles" within the dealership for his own use.

The total amount sought by the dealership is $38,097.75, excluding interest and attorney fees, according to the suit.

More than 21 days have passed without response from Haskins since he was notified, according to court documents. Because of this, Gilbert has asked for a default judgement, meaning the ruling be in favor of the dealership due to no response.

Haskins could not be reached for comment and, according to court documents, he does not have an attorney in the case.

No date has been set yet for further action on the case.
