A student can face “decades behind bars,” after being charged with a fire -bombing of a car dealership in Missouri.
Owen McCinter has been accused of setting two Tesla two -dollar cyberas at $ 100,000 and damaging two charges worth $ 550 each on March 17 around $ 1,3:16 in Kansas City, the Ministry of Justice said.
McInir, a 19-year-old student at the Boston University of Massachusetts, appeared in the federal court on Friday and is charged with one issue for illegal possession of an unregistered destructive device and a number of malicious damage from any property used in interstate trade.
“Allow me to be extremely clear to anyone who still wants to give up Tesla property: you will not escape us,” said General Prosecutor Pam Bondi. “You will be arrested. You will be chased. You will spend decades behind bars. Not worth it.”

Prosecutors say Mcintire used a Molotov cocktail to start the fire. A police officer in Kansas City in the area noticed smoke coming from one of the cybera in the parking lots of the dealer and also found a burned rag to the Molotov cocktail, according to a declaration.
The officer tried to extinguish the flames, but it was unsuccessful and a second vehicle ignited. The firefighters arrived at the scene and released the blast, the declaration said.
McKinie was at home for the spring vacation during the incident, according to DOJ. Three witnesses gave descriptions that corresponded to what Makintir carried tonight, according to the declaration.
“The individual was dressed in dark plain outfit and a large white hat and wore a bag of light color,” the statement says. Later, the hat was found in the backyard of a witness the day after the fire.
Another witness shot a video of the fire and posted it on X, the declaration said. The witness claims that they have seen Makintiler run away from the scene.

The student is believed to have been captured when monitoring the Kansas City International Airport after the incident. The law enforcement agencies have found evidence indicating Mcintire after reviewing the student’s social media profiles, mobile phone data and flight information, Affadavit said.
McKinker was detained after returning to school in Boston.
Bondi is falling apart from what she described as a “wave of internal terrorism” against Tesla’s vehicles of Elon Musk. The reverse reaction comes after the billionaire took on a central role in the Trump administration through the Ministry of Government Efficiency.
Last week, DOJ accused a man of vandalizing Tesla car dealership in New Mexico and setting fire to the headquarters of the State Republican Party.
