Another man is facing criminal charges for allegedly vandalizing a Tesla, this time in North Dakota.
Ryan Lyle Williams was taken into custody and faced charges of felony criminal mischief after allegedly keying a Cybertruck on Sunday afternoon in the Costco parking area in West Fargo, North Dakota, as per the West Fargo Police reports.
Mitch Benson, the owner of the truck, was inside shopping when Williams, wearing a blue hooded jacket, purportedly scratched his Cybertruck, damaging the front driver’s side door with a mark that looked like the letter “F.”

Meanwhile, Tesla owners themselves have been subject to instances of vandalism and violence around the country, as Benson was in North Dakota.
A man was arrested in New Hampshire last week after he was allegedly caught on Sentry mode video slashing a Tesla. A San Jose man was arrested on March 19 for allegedly vandalizing a Tesla, also in a Costco parking lot. That incident was caught on Sentry mode video.
An Idaho man was charged with aggravated battery for allegedly striking a pro-Tesla demonstrator with his car.
