Shock: Repo Man’s Head Run Over By Debtor

A couple in Memphis, Tennessee are in big trouble after one of them ran over a repo man’s head as he was trying to take a bank-owned Ford Focus, with everything caught on camera. Injured and stumbling towards his truck, the repo man was ignored by the man and woman, who both are now facing criminal charges.

Footage recorded by a Tesla Cybertruck appears to show a Lexus driver pull a gun on the Tesla driver.

In the footage taken by the repo man using a tow truck-mounted camera, we can see, he’s laying on the ground to hook up chains to the Ford’s chassis when the male debtor runs up to the car and gets in the driver’s seat.

A woman comes along as the man reverses the car, trying to escape the tow truck, running over the repo man’s head, who screams in pain. Rather than stop and help the repo man, the woman directs her male accomplice in how to drive around the cars parked on either side.

Then the two take off, leaving the injured repo man to call for help on his own.

While the man and woman are now charged with aggravated assault, not everyone thinks they were entirely in the wrong. Fox13 Memphis spoke with one neighbor who seemed to blame the repo man at least in part for the incident, saying he should’ve backed off the Focus once the man got inside the car.

But another neighbor said she was the one who sold the Ford to the woman who appears in the video. She clarified that the female debtor wasn’t paying for the vehicle and that’s why it was out for repossession.

We know having your car repossessed can be a stressful, emotional event. But if lash out violently at the repo man, you will make your life far harder and more complicated almost instantly. It’s best you just cool off and step away if you can’t handle watching the vehicle put onto a tow truck rather than do something criminal in response.

Plus, you likely know a repossession is coming if you aren’t paying for a car you don’t own. Acknowledging your contribution to the problem instead of blaming the repo man is the wiser thing to do.
