A week later, 42-year-old Lucy Grace Nelson, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson, was arrested in Loveland, Colorado, after reportedly being caught trying to ignite Molotov cocktails near a dealership. Authorities claim that Nelson was found with a container of gasoline, bottles, and wicks, which were intended for use in creating incendiary devices.
On March 7, Daniel Clarke-Pounder, 24, allegedly vandalized a dealership in Charleston, South Carolina, by spray-painting messages such as ‘f*** Trump’ and ‘Long Live Ukraine’ before setting three charging stations ablaze.
Lansky and Nelson face charges of arson of property in interstate commerce and possession of an unregistered destructive device, while Clarke-Pounder is charged solely with arson of property in interstate commerce.
According to the Department of Justice, all three suspects could face up to 20 years in prison if found guilty.
