A 19-year-old male college student has been arrested for allegedly using Molotov cocktails to set fire to a pair of Tesla Cybertrucks.

Attorney General Pam Bondi informed the suspect, Owen McIntire, that he could spend decades in prison for the charges he is facing, which includes one count of malicious damage by fire of any property used in interstate commerce and one count of unlawful possession of an unregistered destructive device.

“Let me be extremely clear to anyone who still wants to firebomb a Tesla property: you will not evade us,” the attorney general said in a press release from the Department of Justice. “You will be arrested. You will be prosecuted. You will spend decades behind bars. It is not worth it.”

“Crimes have consequences. The people behind these violent and dangerous attacks on private property will face decades in prison — we will not make deals and we will not negotiate,” Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said.

“This is the second arrest this week of a suspect charged with targeting Tesla, more proof that the FBI will not stand for these destructive acts,” FBI Director Kash Patel said. “These actions are dangerous, they are illegal, and we are going to arrest those responsible. We will work with our partners at the Department of Justice to hold accountable anyone who commits such crimes. I commend our FBI teams in Kansas City and Boston for their work.”

“ATF’s Special Agents and forensic experts recovered and analyzed key evidence—including Molotov cocktails—used in this deliberate and dangerous arson attack,” Acting Director Dan Driscoll of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) said. “This wasn’t vandalism — it was a violent criminal act. Thanks to the relentless work of ATF special agents, and our close coordination with the FBI and local law enforcement, we now have a suspect in custody. I am committed to ensuring ATF continues to stand on the front lines of public safety. ATF will not tolerate those who incite political violence in our communities.”
