The individual who pleaded guilty to Tesla-related arson has been slapped with a five-year prison sentence, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Arizona.
Ian William Moses, who pleaded guilty last year, was sentenced on Tuesday “by U.S. District Judge Diane J. Humetewa to 60 months of imprisonment, the mandatory minimum, followed by 36 months of supervised release,” the release notes.
“According to court documents, surveillance cameras showed Moses was at the Tesla dealership in Mesa shortly before 2 a.m. on Monday, April 28, 2025, wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt, tan ballcap, grey pants, black boots, and a black mask.
“He also carried a red plastic gas can and a black backpack. While in the Tesla dealership parking lot, Moses was captured on video as he placed fire starter logs next to the dealership building. Moses then poured gasoline onto the starter logs, the building and three Tesla vehicles,” the press release explains.
