Aludein Marks, the infamous “homeless carjacker” whose penchant for high-profile cars made her infamous with authorities, was held under a $100,000 bail by a judge late Sunday.
Marks' “crime spree” made headlines Saturday after the 25-year-old tapped into her inner Dominic Toretto and wrecked havoc down an eight-mile stretch of Manhattan's east side.
It only took her 30 minutes to “steal and crash” four luxury cars – including three Mercedes-Benzes – and run over 20 other vehicles during her crazed rampage.
Police told the New York Post that Marks started her crash derby at Fifth Avenue and E. 74th Street and ended at City Hall. She first boosted a Mercedes-Benz by jumping in the passenger seat and forcing the driver out of the car.
After smashing the Benz, Marks took her sights on a black Mercedes-Benz G-class SUV and sped down FDR before crashing it into Toyota Corolla.
She then hopped into her third Mercedes and drove down East 26th Street before transferring to a silver Toyota Camry.
The Twisted Metal-esque show came to a halt when Marks rammed into a barrier near City Hall at around 7:45 p.m., authorities said, while claiming that “Diamond” was drunk and high on drugs.
She was taken to New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital for observation after she was arrested.
Marks, who appeared before Judge Thomas Farber, was also charged with three counts of robbery, four counts of grand larceny auto, driving while intoxicated and operating a vehicle while drug-impaired.
