Metropolitan Police Department officials in Washington, D.C., have arrested a husband and wife duo for allegedly vandalizing Tesla vehicles with “political hate speech” as Trump haters escalate their campaign of domestic terrorism and violence against Elon Musk’s EV company. The husband is a former government bureaucrat and his wife is a mover and shaker in the NGO world.
The Washington Post reports that the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) in Washington, DC, announced the arrest of married couple Justin and Emily Fisher for their alleged involvement in vandalizing Tesla vehicles. According to the MPD, the suspects are accused of defacing four vehicles between March 1 and 21 by writing “political hate speech” on them. Additionally, Justin Fisher is alleged to have vandalized two other vehicles on March 9 and 12.
According to the Post, both alleged vandals have significant resumes in D.C.:
Emily Fisher is listed in a biography posted on the website of the nonprofit Smart Electric Power Alliance as its chief strategy officer. The bio also lists her as co-chair of the executive board of City Year D.C., a public service program that supports city schools through AmeriCorps.
Representatives of the nonprofit and City Year D.C. did not return emails seeking comment. Emily Fisher’s attorney declined to comment on her client’s status with those organizations. The bio also says she previously worked as a Foreign Service officer at embassies in Bangkok and Bogotá.
