Repo Bat Man Busted

Warren, OH – August 4, 2025 – Scorched earth. If he couldn’t have it, he was going to thrash it and he did. Baseball bat in hand, he smashed out all the windows. It didn’t end well for anyone.

On Saturday, August 2^nd, Warren Police officers responded to a call at Palmyra Road SW Saturday to investigate a neighborhood disturbance. Arriving at the scene, they heard the tale of woe from an employee of a Warren used car dealer who had just had a nasty run in with a man in an SUV.

The amateur repo man told police that he was attempting to repossess a Dodge Charger from the residence, when a man, later identified as 52-year-old Hasonn L. Miller, arrived armed with a baseball bat.

According to the man, Miller busted up the car’s back, driver’s side, and front windows with the bat before leaving in an SUV. Fortunately, the man filmed the license of the Miller as he made his escape.

Police quickly found Miller at his home and arrested him. He was booked into the Trumbull County Jail. The report did not say that Miller owned the car, but he was called over when the homeowner on Palmyra Road spotted the repo man.

Miller was arraigned Monday the 4th in Warren Municipal Court on charges of felonious assault and criminal damaging.
