Two Memphis Residents Arrested for Running Over Repo Man During Car Repossession Attempt
In the bustling city of Memphis, an early morning incident on March 26, 2025, has left residents in shock. A tow truck driver, performing his routine job of repossessing vehicles, found himself in a precarious situation when he was run over while attempting to reclaim a car. This alarming event unfolded at approximately 7:55 a.m. in the 1000 block of Cabana Circle.
The Details of the Incident
The victim, who works as a repo man, was trying to take back a 2011 Ford Fusion that was reportedly overdue on payments. As he was in the process of hooking the tow truck to the vehicle, a woman in the vicinity shouted to a man to “hurry up.” This seemingly innocent remark turned dangerous when the male driver, who has been identified as the owner of the car, allegedly backed the Ford Fusion over the repo man while he was still underneath the vehicle.
Witnesses who saw the incident unfold provided critical details that painted a clearer picture of what happened. They indicated that the woman, Brandi Revels, was the one responsible for the repossession, having previously sold the car to a man named Nicholas Wray. The reports indicated that Wray had been remiss on his payment obligations, which ultimately led to the repossession attempt.
Medical Response and Victim’s Condition
As you can imagine, this situation was extremely distressing. The repo man sustained several injuries during the ordeal, including abrasions to his head and pain in his arm. Thankfully, he was conscious enough to seek assistance and was swiftly taken to Regional One Hospital to receive treatment. Fortunately, he was reported to be in non-critical condition.
The Arrests
Both Revels and Wray now face serious charges, including aggravated assault. Revels is currently held on a bond set at $15,000, while Wray has a much steeper bond of $60,000. Meanwhile, the Ford Fusion that was involved in the incident was discovered and towed to a city lot located at the 900 block of Oakmont Place.

Upcoming Court Date
This incident is a grim reminder that repossession processes can escalate quickly, often leading to dangerous situations for everyone involved. As we await further developments, let’s hope for the swift recovery of the repo man and a resolution to this troubling case.
