Man With ‘Cranking’ Fetish Jailed After Joy Riding Four Chevrolets

A Saginaw, Michigan man was jailed on Valentine’s Day after taking four vehicles for joy rides. The man, Jordan Haskins, who once ran as a Republican for a Michigan House seat, was arraigned on seven felonious charges surrounding the joy rides.

Haskins took the vehicles from a Chevrolet dealership that were awaiting repairs at the body shop. He reportedly jumped them over hills and damaged the vehicles more than they already were. The vehicles specifically were a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado, a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe, a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox.

However, this is not the first time Haskins has been caught messing around with vehicles. The man was also awaiting a trial after being caught “cranking” in a county-owned vehicle.

Specifically, Haskins would disconnect the vehicle’s spark plug wires to make it run rough to help reach sexual self-gratification, according to MLive. This fetish is called “cranking.”

He is currently being held on a $40,000 bond at the Saginaw Count Jail.

    1. 1. This is not “made up”
      2. “More of” would imply that there was “made up news” previous to this, which there wasn’t.

      So, rumors of any made up news are highly exaggerated 😉

  6. i guess this guy somehow uses the wrong tool to for the job. With the rough idle, Chances are that his exhaust also runs afoul. Sounds like some screws and nuts are loose and the wrong size. At least he’s brand loyal?
