Arizona Grand Jury Indicts Ian Moses for Tesla Dealership Arson

News summary

A federal grand jury in Phoenix indicted Ian William Moses, 35, for allegedly setting fire to a Tesla dealership in Mesa, Arizona, resulting in the destruction of a new Tesla Cybertruck. Surveillance footage reportedly captured Moses igniting starter logs and gasoline near the dealership and vehicles before fleeing the scene on a bicycle. He was apprehended nearby, still wearing the same clothes, and found with a hand-drawn map marking the dealership. Prosecutors and law enforcement officials, including Attorney General Pam Bondi, emphasized a zero-tolerance stance towards what they described as domestic terrorism, pledging prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. The incident is part of a broader pattern of attacks on Tesla properties in protest of CEO Elon Musk's role in the Trump administration, according to reports. Investigators, including the ATF and FBI, coordinated rapidly to recover evidence and secure charges.
