Who is Stephanie Carlquist?

Stephanie Carlquist lives in Richmond, Kentucky. She went to Scott County High School, according to her Facebook profile.

The car owner said Carlquist first slashed the tires on July 6. Then, on July 15, she destroyed the whole vehicle.

A few days later, a towing company brought the car to a Goodyear shop in Richmond. Due to massive damage, the vehicle was declared totaled. The Repairs were estimated at over $12,460.

When the tow truck arrived, Carlquist allegedly told the driver that she had wrecked the car. The driver then called the victim’s mom and informed her about the whole incident, as reported by DailyMail.

The criminal complaint says Carlquist later sent her ex a message on Instagram, saying she was sorry. She said she was stressed because she’s pregnant.

Police spoke with Carlquist, and she admitted to smashing the windshield and putting glitter in the vents. But she denied doing the rest. She told officers her ex was “overdue for oil and motor and everything else – oh, and the tire.”

Carlquist was arrested on August 14 and charged with first-degree criminal mischief, a felony.
