BY JULIA DALLAS
The FBI Seattle Field Office announced at a press conference Tuesday that it is intensifying the search for a suspect connected to a Tesla charging station attack in Lacey. FBI officials say theyre treating this as a domestic terrorist incident.
While they did not report much new information about the attack, FBI officials hoped to refocus the spotlight on the incident in hopes that anyone with video evidence would come forward.
Authorities say they are looking for a white man approximately 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet 2 inches tall. The man also has a slight limp. The FBI is also looking for a gray 2016 to 2019 Tesla Model X that was near the incident and may be able to provide footage.
Anyone in the area of the Target and Kohls stores in the South Sound Center on Monday night into Tuesday morning on April 8 at 1:34am, including along the Chehalis Western and Woodland Creek Trails, is being asked to review doorbell and security camera surveillance footage. It may show the suspect walking or accessing a car from Monday evening to Tuesday morning.

Terrorism or vandalism? I don't think one should do either but this sounds like a job for local law enforcement not the feds.
