"Harrison Grant Randall, 40, was charged in March with six felony counts of defacing property. He was accused of tagging the Teslas with stickers of Elon Musk, the automaker's billionaire CEO who worked closely with President Donald Trump earlier this year. He was arrested by Brookline police after several Tesla drivers reported acts of vandalism, including one driver who sent in a video of them confronting Randall."
"In the video, Randall claimed that he was tagging the cars as a form of "free speech." "You guys can get a better car," Randall can be heard saying in the video. "If you can afford that car..." Randall's attorney, Mark Brofsky, filed a motion to dismiss the charges in June on the grounds that there was no evidence that Randall acted with malice when tagging the vehicles, court records show."
Harrison Grant Randall, 40, was arrested in March and charged with six felony counts of defacing property for tagging Tesla vehicles with stickers of Elon Musk. Brookline police arrested Randall after multiple Tesla drivers reported vandalism, and one driver provided a video of a confrontation. In the video, Randall stated he was tagging the cars as a form of "free speech" and made critical remarks about owners' ability to afford the vehicles. Randall's attorney filed a motion in June arguing there was no evidence of malice. A pretrial hearing occurred in August, and the motion was approved on Oct. 15, leading to dismissal of the charges.
