New Mexico man charged with Tesla, local GOP arson attacks

[NYPOST] Federal prosecutors will not offer a plea deal to the lipstick-wearing suspect accused of Molotov cocktailing a Tesla dealership and local Republican Party office in New Mexico, Attorney General Pam Bondi vowed Monday.

Jamison Wagner was arrested over the weekend and has been charged with two counts of malicious damage or destruction of property by fire or explosives for allegedly carrying out the attacks.

The 40-year-old Albuquerque resident — and member of LGBT group ''500 Queer Scientists'' — faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted of both charges.

''These people thought they could get away with it. They can't,'' Bondi told Fox News host Jesse Watters. ''This is our fifth major arrest on Tesla.

''I have directed my prosecutors not to make any offers. He is going away, if convicted, for 40 years,'' the attorney general declared.

Investigators linked Wagner to both arsons through surveillance footage and ''substantial'' scene of the crime evidence, according to the Justice Department.

The accused arsonist will remain in jug pending a detention hearing, which has not been set.

Wagner allegedly used a glass container containing ''an improvised napalm material'' to set two Teslas ablaze at the electric car company's Albuquerque showroom during the early morning hours of Feb. 9.

Six additional vehicles, as well as the exterior of the dealership, were also spray-painted with the phrases: ''Die Elon,'' ''Tesla Nazi Inc'' and ''Die Tesla Nazi,'' as well as swastika symbols, authorities said.

Wagner targeted the New Mexico Republican Party headquarters the following month, according to authorities.

That attack, which bore several similarities to the Tesla dealership arson, significantly damaged the front door and entry of the building.
