A man accused of firebombing a Tesla dealership in Colorado is facing federal charges, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Monday. 

Cooper Jo Fredrick, 24, was arrested in Plano, Texas, on suspicion of attacking a Tesla dealership on March 7 in Loveland, Colo., Bondi said. 

“Let this be a warning. You can run, but you cannot hide,” Bondi said in a video message. “Justice is coming.”

“I’ve made it clear that if you take part in the wave of domestic terrorism against Tesla properties, we will track you down, arrest you, and imprison you,” Bondi said. “These cases pose a significant threat to public safety. Consequently, there will be no negotiation.”

Frederick was arrested a week after the attack. Federal prosecutors are seeking 20 years in prison, Bondi said. 

Apart from the federal charges he faces, Frederick is also dealing with local charges, including second-degree arson and possession of explosives or incendiary devices. 

He is among several suspects charged in relation to the recent attacks on Tesla dealerships and factories. The incidents seem to focus on Tesla CEO Elon Musk and his involvement with the Trump administration’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). 

Lucy Grace Nelson, 42, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson, is also facing charges in connection with a separate Feb. 27 incident at the same Loveland dealership.

In response to the attacks, the FBI has launched a task force to crack down on the violence, with the group created in conjunction with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) to coordinate investigative activity.
