A New Mexico Man Faces Federal Charges for Allegedly Setting Fire to a Tesla Showroom


Jamison Wagner was also charged with an alleged arson attack on the New Mexico Republican Party’s office.

The charge can apply to goods manufactured and sold in different states and the facilities that house them—like the Tesla showroom, or the Republican office which also sells MAGA merchandise. It also alleges that he is responsible for a March 30 incident at the Republican Party of New Mexico office in which the entrance area was set on fire and “ICE=KKK” was graffitied on the building’s exterior. (The DOJ press release issued after Wagner’s arrest notes that, “A complaint is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”)
