Two individuals, Justin Fisher, 49, and Emily Fisher, 50, were arrested for their involvement in a series of Tesla-related graffiti incidents in Northeast Washington, D.C. between March 1 and March 14. The couple turned themselves in to authorities on April 1 and 2, respectively. Both face multiple charges for defacing public and private property.
The graffiti found on several Tesla vehicles featured messages frequently mentioning Tesla CEO Elon Musk, along with references to political views tied to Musk’s association with former President Donald Trump and his involvement with Dogecoin (DOGE). The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating these incidents as potential hate speech and bias-related offenses.
Authorities believe the vandalism spree may be politically motivated, and both individuals are now facing serious charges related to their actions.
