Brookline police arrested Harrison Grant Randall, 39, for allegedly vandalizing Tesla cars with stickers of Elon Musk. The arrest followed a viral video of Randall tagging a vehicle, where he defended his actions by claiming it was free speech. He faces six counts of defacing property. Randall was recognized by community members and spotted on a bicycle, ultimately leading to his arrest. His bail is set at $2,500, and it is unclear if he has legal representation. This incident coincides with reported arson at Tesla charging stations in Littleton, though the two events seem unrelated.
"Why do you think you have the right to do that?" the person filming asked in the video. "It's my free speech," the suspect replied, later adding, "You guys can get a better car. If you can afford that car...".
Randall's arrest came after several Tesla drivers reported their cars had been vandalized with stickers of the automaker's controversial CEO, who's become a prominent figure in right-wing politics.
