A Kentucky woman , Stephanie Carlquist , 31, was arrested for causing extensive damage to her ex-boyfriend's car following a dispute in July. The pregnant woman allegedly poured salt into the vehicle's engine, filled air conditioning vents with glitter, slashed a tire, cracked the windshield and rearview mirror, and shattered the radio screen, resulting in damages estimated at $12,464.96.
The incidents occurred across two separate dates, with the initial tire slashing taking place on July 6 during an argument. The remaining damage was inflicted on July 15, according to police reports.
The extent of the damage was so severe that the vehicle was declared a total loss. Carlquist later admitted to some of the destructive acts to the tow truck driver who removed the damaged vehicle from the scene, according to a New York Post report.
Following the incident, Carlquist contacted her ex-boyfriend's mother to inform her about what had occurred. She later reached out to her ex-boyfriend through Instagram to apologize, citing stress related to her pregnancy as a factor in her actions.
During police questioning, Carlquist acknowledged responsibility for cracking the windshield and inserting glitter into the vents. However, she attributed other damage to the vehicle being "overdue" for an oil change and other maintenance services.
The woman was subsequently arrested and charged with felony criminal mischief. She was booked into the Madison County Detention Center with a bond set at $12,000.
The aftermath of her arrest garnered attention when she posed for her booking photograph with a notable smile, which became part of her official mugshot at the detention facility.
