US Attorney General Pam Bondi announced federal charges against Cooper Frederick, 24, in the firebombing of the Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado.
Frederick, who targeted the Loveland Tesla dealership with an incendiary device last month, was arrested on March 14 and charged with second-degree arson, use of explosives or incendiary devices during a felony, criminal mischief, and other crimes.
Bondi warned others planning to take part in acts of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties:
“I’ve made it clear, if you take part in the wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, we will find you, arrest you, and put you behind bars.
Today, I’m proud to announce that the Department of Justice has unsealed federal charges against another Tesla attacker.
We’ve charged Cooper Frederick in the firebombing of a Tesla dealership that occurred on March 7 in Loveland, Colorado.
There will be no negotiating. We are seeking 20 years in prison.
The crime was committed in Colorado, and thanks to the great investigative work by the FBI, the defendant was arrested in Plano, Texas. Let this be a warning. You can run, but you cannot hide. Justice is coming.”
Watch:
Last week, Paul Kim, 36, was arrested following a “targeted attack” on a Tesla center.
Kim used Molotov cocktails and firearms during his attack, police said.
Kim was charged with shooting a gun into an abandoned structure/vehicle, third-degree arson, destruction of real property, and possession of a flammable device.
Kim’s social media shows him with potential communist & pro-Palestine affiliations, per Fox News‘s Bill Melugin.
Last month, President Donald Trump said acts of political violence will not be tolerated, stating that the increasing violence will be labeled as acts of domestic terrorism.
“I will do that, I’ll do it. I’m going to stop them,” the president said in response to the threat level being raised.
“Those people are going to go through a big problem when we catch them. We’ve got a lot of cameras up, we already know who some of them are. We’re going to catch them,” he said.
“And they’re bad guys. They’re the same guys that screw around with our schools and universities, the same garbage,” the president added.
