Adam Matthew Lansky, 41, was arrested Tuesday after authorities linked him to reports of someone throwing Molotov cocktails and shooting at the dealership on two separate occasions.
The first instance involved someone throwing Molotov cocktails at the Tesla dealership on Jan. 20, according to court documents.
“The Subject walked between the building and the vehicles parked in front of it, then pulled out a bag and started lighting an object on fire,” the court document said. “The Subject threw the object at a red Tesla SUV parked in front of the building, which started to catch fire, and then threw an object through the showroom window. The Subject proceeded to throw three or four more objects at other vehicles parked in front of the building.”
A month later, on Feb. 19, officials received reports that someone had caused damage by firing bullets into the building and a vehicle. Court documents said the suspect had been seen carrying an AR-15 style rifle with a suppressor.
No suspects were found at the scene on either occasion, according to police.
However, investigators said Lansky could be spotted in surveillance footage throwing the Molotov cocktails that “struck a dealership building and several vehicles” in January and his car could be seen packed near the dealership during the second attack in February.
Lansky, a Salem resident, was charged by criminal complaint with illegally possessing an unregistered destructive device in a federal court.
He will remain in custody until his next court appearance.
No other details were immediately available.
