Later, on July 15, the former couple had another argument, after which the ex-boyfriend walked away because he couldn’t drive with a slashed tire.
It is believed Stephanie carried out the rest of the damage after their July 15 altercation.
A few days later, the ex-boyfriend arranged for the car to be towed to Goodyear to get an estimate for the repairs.
That’s when he was told that the estimated cost of the damages was around $12,464.96.

Stephanie had reportedly told the tow truck driver that she caused significant damage to the vehicle.
The tow truck driver then contacted the victim’s mother, who co-owns the car, and informed her about the woman’s astonishing confessions.
During an interview with cops, Stephanie said she dumped glitter into the AC vents, poured salt into the engine, cracked the windshield and rearview mirror, and broke the screen of the radio.
She claimed the oil, motor, and other damages were not caused by her actions.

The accused woman had also reached out to her ex-boyfriend and claimed she caused the damages because she was stressed out from being pregnant.
She also reportedly apologized for her actions and offered to pay for the repairs, give him another vehicle, or give him her own car.
“The only thing I did was put glitter in the air vents and hurt the windshield. He was overdue for oil and motor and everything else. Oh, and the tire,” she allegedly wrote in one text message.

Stephanie’s father had gotten in touch with the ex-boyfriend and told him that his daughter would pay him for all the damages to the car.
They could “come to a better solution than Stephanie taking a felony charge, so nobody gets hurt anymore,” Stephanie’s father said in one text message sent to the ex.
