Authorities have arrested a Colorado woman suspected of planting incendiary devices at a local Tesla dealership.
Lucy Grace Nelson, 40, was arrested on Monday. Police and jail records list Nelson as a female, though the department noted an alias of “Justin Thomas Nelson.”
The Loveland Police Department said an investigation into the case began in late January.
In early February, the department revealed that officers had also responded to a reported arson attempt, after which the “incendiary devices” were found at the scene. Vehicles had also been vandalized with graffiti, “some of which were offensive and hateful in nature,” police said.
“I know that there’s been some rumors that it was just fireworks and bottle rockets and that is not the case. That is not true,” Chris Padgett, a spokesperson for the Loveland Police Department, told Nexstar’s KDVR. “The devices that were discovered had potential for serious damage.”
Loveland Police Department Public Information Officer Chris Padgett told Fox News Digital in incidents prior to Nelson’s arrest, there were “very offensive messages, derogatory in nature” left at the dealership.
During police surveillance, Nelson was allegedly spotted Monday night with additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism, according to Padgett.
Nelson was arrested without incident and booked into jail where she was issued a $10,000 cash surety bond.
“The Loveland Police Department continues to work closely with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Denver Field Division with Federal charges likely to follow,” according to Loveland Police.
Lucy Grace Nelson was charged with explosives or incendiary devices use, felony criminal mischief and criminal attempt to commit felonies, according to a news release from the Loveland Police Department.
The incident comes months after a Tesla cybertruck exploded in front of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.
A U.S. Army soldier drove the Cybertruck, which he rented from Turo, outside of the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas on Monday morning. Upon arriving, the vehicle was detonated by explosives in the car.
Investigators found fireworks, gasoline canisters and camping fuel in the remains of the vehicle. The soldier was believed to have fatally shot himself shortly before the explosion.
On the day of the attack, Musk commented on X that the individual “picked the wrong vehicle for a terrorist attack” because the “Cybertruck actually contained the explosion and directed the blast upwards.”
