A 19-year-old Kansas City, Missouri, resident was arrested for allegedly burning Tesla vehicles last month, Justice Department announced on Friday.
Owen McIntire, who is attending college in Boston, was arrested and made his initial court appearance on Friday to face federal charges related to an arson attack at a Tesla dealership in Kansas City on March 17.
“Let me be extremely clear to anyone who still wants to firebomb a Tesla property: you will not evade us,” said Attorney General Pam Bondi. “You will be arrested. You will be prosecuted. You will spend decades behind bars. It is not worth it.”
McIntire is the second person arrested this week on federal charges for alleged arson attacks against Tesla dealerships.
