A 42-year-old transgender woman who allegedly threw Molotov cocktails at vehicles and spray-painted “Nazi cars” at a Colorado Tesla dealership lives with her mother due to “emotional problems” and calls herself “baby” online.
Lucy Grace Nelson, also known as Justin Thomas Nelson, is accused of hurling incendiary devices at a Tesla dealership in Loveland, Northern Colorado, and vandalizing the business and vehicles on multiple occasions with graffiti “offensive and hateful in nature,” police said.
In one incident, the suspect allegedly took aim at Tesla CEO Elon Musk — who has previously been accused of antisemitism — scrawling “f—k Musk” with red paint on the front windows of the establishment and in another, sprayed “Nazi” on a company sign.
Nelson’s father, Claiborne “Jerry” Nelson, 82, told The Post he last spoke to her over the phone in January.
“He changed his name to Lucy a few years ago,” Claiborne told The Post.
“He’s in his early 40s but has been living with his mother who has been taking care of him.
“He has emotional problems. He hasn’t been able to keep a job.”
