Saginaw, MI – May 14, 2025 – Crashing through the gates of the repossession company, she stole back her repossessed SUV. A month later the police spotted her and she led them on a 100 MPH chase until they backed off and let her go. A month later, police spotted the SUV in her very own driveway and her two months of freedom came to an end. Finally pleading guilty on a plea deal, she will now be going away for awhile.
The drama began way back on Halloween in 2024 when 31-year-old Jasmine K. Dillard and others, slipped onto the lot of Best Towing. Spotting her repossessed SUV, she climbed into the driver’s seat and fired up the engine. Crashing through a locked gate like a bat out of hell, she made her escape, which was captured on video by a neighboring business contacted police.
Fast forward to December 3rd, police stopped the SUV on Interstate 675 and found Dillard behind the wheel. Officers asked her to step out of the SUV, at which point she did the predictable and sped away. Sirens wailing, the police took chase.
Dillard pushed the vehicle to its limits, forcing other cars to dodge her frantic flee to freedom through the streets of Saginaw. Reaching speeds of up to 100 mph, police called off the chase for public safety.
But on January 4th, Dillard’s luck ran out when police spotted the SUV sitting in the driveway of a Saginaw residence. Police stopped, found Dillard inside, and placed her under arrest.
On Tuesday, Jan. 7, Dillard appeared before Saginaw County District Judge Terry L. Clark for arraignment on charges of unlawfully driving away a motor vehicle, malicious destruction of a building between $1,000 and $20,000, fourth degree fleeing and eluding police, illegal entry, and reckless driving. The first three counts are felonies, while the last two were misdemeanors.
But, on April 22nd, she appeared before Saginaw County Circuit Judge Darnell Jackson and pleaded guilty to single counts of unlawfully driving away a motor vehicle and fourth-degree fleeing and eluding police. The charges are five- and two-year felonies, respectively.
In exchange for her pleas, the prosecution agreed to dismiss charges of illegal entry, malicious destruction of property between $1,000 and $20,000, and reckless driving.
