A 40-year-old woman has been arrested in Colorado after police discovered explosives at a Tesla dealership, marking the latest incident in a series of protests apparently directed at Tesla CEO and DOGE leader Elon Musk.
Lucy Grace Nelson faces charges of using explosives or incendiary devices, felony criminal mischief, and attempted felonies, as per the Loveland Police Department.
An investigation was launched on Jan. 29 following multiple instances of vandalism at the dealership, with incendiary devices being found on the premises.
Subsequent incidents occurred on Feb. 2 and Feb. 7, escalating in severity each time.
Before Nelson's arrest, offensive and derogatory messages were left at the dealership during previous incidents, according to authorities.
Nelson was observed on Monday night with additional incendiary devices and materials linked to vandalism, leading to her arrest without issue.
Following her booking, Nelson was granted a $10,000 cash surety bond.
The Loveland Police Department is collaborating with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Denver Field Division, with potential federal charges pending.
While it remains uncertain if others were involved, authorities have assured that there is no current threat to the community.
Indivisible, an organization established by former Democratic congressional staffers, has been encouraging liberals to organize protests against Musk, as reported previously.
The activist group has shared a protest 'tool kit' outlining strategies for staging demonstrations at Tesla locations.
These protests coincide with budget cuts at federal agencies under President Donald Trump's administration, sparking further dissent.
As the situation unfolds, authorities are closely monitoring developments to ensure public safety and uphold the law.
