Police: Transgender Suspect Planted Explosives at Tesla Dealership

A transgender individual has been arrested after allegedly planting explosives at a Colorado Tesla dealership, as instances of violence and vandalism surge at other Tesla locations.

Lucy Grace Nelson, a 40-year-old male who identifies as a transgender woman, was arrested on Monday night following “several” instances of vandalism at the Loveland Tesla dealership, leading to “incendiary devices” being found at the scene,” police announced Wednesday.

The Loveland Police Department investigation, which began on January 29, resulted in Nelson’s arrest when he allegedly “returned to Loveland Tesla while in possession of additional incendiary devices, along with materials attributed to vandalism.”

The dealership reported instances of vandalism on January 29, February 2, and February 7.

Nelson, who was identified as a “woman” instead of a biological man by ABC News, NBC News, and CNN, was booked into the Larimer County Jail on charges of explosives or incendiary devices use during felony, criminal mischief, and criminal attempt to commit a Class 3 felony.
