The Federal Bureau of Investigation's Field Office in Seattle, the Lacey Police Department in Washington State, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Seattle Field Division are seeking information on an individual responsible for causing significant damage to a Tesla supercharger station in Lacey, Washington. On April 8, 2025, at approximately 1:30 a.m., an individual started a fire at the Tesla Supercharger, located at 665 Sleater Kinney Road SE, Lacey, Washington. The fire resulted in substantial damage to the station and surrounding area. This individual may have injuries consistent with being in close proximity to an explosion or intense heat, such as a concussion, burns, or shrapnel injuries. The suspect is a White male, approximately 5’10” to 6’2”. He was wearing a dark jacket with a hood, gray pants, and a face covering. The suspect walks with a unique gait, including a slight limp with his right leg kicking out and, at times, his right hand held behind his back. He was carrying a white bag which may have been plastic. Anyone in the surrounding area of the Target and Kohl’s stores in the South Sound Center, also to include along the Chehalis Western and Woodland Creek Trails, is requested to review any doorbell and security camera footage which may show this person walking or accessing a vehicle from the late evening of April 7, 2025, to the early morning of April 8, 2025.
