Some leftists have lashed out with partisan rage against pro-Trump tech billionaire Elon Musk via acts of vandalism and violence against Tesla vehicles and dealerships.

On Monday, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that an arrest had been made and criminal charges filed against an individual suspected of a February firebombing of a Tesla dealership in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Breitbart reported.

That same individual has also been charged in connection with a similar incendiary attack against the Republican Party of New Mexico's headquarters building in the same city in March.

Man arrested for arson attacks against Tesla dealership, GOP headquarters building

In a Monday afternoon X post, AG Bondi wrote, "BREAKING: We have made an arrest in connection to the February firebombing of a New Mexico Tesla dealership and the March attack on the New Mexico Republican Party Headquarters."

"We will be prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law. We are seeking up to 40 years in prison -- no negotiating," she continued.

The attorney general praised the "outstanding work" of the FBI, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, and the New Mexico U.S. Attorney's Office, and vowed, "More details to come."

The crimes and the investigation

Those additional details came in a Justice Department press release about the federal charges filed against Albuquerque resident Jamison Wagner, 40, who was linked to both arson attacks at the Tesla dealership and the GOP headquarters building by way of "surveillance footage and scene evidence."

On February 9, Wagner is alleged to have attacked a Tesla dealership and two Tesla vehicles using homemade napalm-like incendiary devices in glass jars that "significantly damaged" one of the cars. He is also accused of spray-painting graffiti on the building and several other vehicles, which included an image of a swastika and messages like "Die Elon," "Tesla Nazi Inc," and "Die Tesla Nazi."

More than a month and a half later, on March 30, Wagner is further alleged to have attacked the Republican Party of New Mexico's headquarters building with similar incendiary devices that started a fire which "significantly damaged the front door and entry area," and graffiti was also found at the scene that read "ICE=KKK."

Per the release, investigators were able to link both incidents because the homemade firebombs were made from similar materials, and the markings on those materials matched. They also linked Wagner to both crimes through surveillance video footage from the dealership and businesses near the GOP headquarters that provided them with an image of the suspect and his vehicle.

After a search warrant was executed on April 12, investigators found "substantial evidence" at Wagner's home that conclusively linked him to both arson attacks, including the same materials to construct the incendiary devices used, several already assembled devices, the same color spray paint as was used, and even a stencil of one of the messages left by the vandal, not to mention the same vehicle seen in the surveillance footage.

"Crimes have consequences"

"Let this be the final lesson to those taking part in this ongoing wave of political violence," AG Bondi said in a statement. "We will arrest you, we will prosecute you, and we will not negotiate. Crimes have consequences."

Faced with two counts of "malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives," Wagner could be sentenced to anywhere from five to twenty years in prison for each charge, if convicted.

Per the DOJ release, he is being held in custody until he can appear for a detention hearing, which has not yet been scheduled.
