A 25-year-old Tacoma woman was arrested Thursday morning on five federal counts of arson after police say she burned five Seattle police vehicles on fire as protests turned violent in downtown Seattle on May 30.
U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran said in a news release that Margaret Aislinn Channon was taken into custody without incident at her Tacoma home.
Channon is expected to appear in U.S. District Court in Seattle on Friday. Arson is punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
This defendant was captured by multiple cameras using an accelerant, lit like a blowtorch, to start fires in five vehicles -- putting the public at risk and creating the very real possibility of a structure fire amidst the throng of people protesting downtown, Moran said in a news release. I commend the painstaking work of law enforcement using a variety of images to identify the defendant and locate her so she can be held accountable.
Officials said, investigators from the FBI, the bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and the Seattle Police Department reviewed videos taken of the arsons May 30 and of a protest held May 29.
Investigators said Channon appeared in videos from both days and said tattoos on her hands and arms were clearly visible.

Nope, the Feds don’t do that. If it were a local, sympathetic prosecutor it’d be a different story.
This lefty broad is about to be made an example.
Unlikely. DOJ is full of Trump hating Democrats. They’ll punt it until after the election and then drop the charges.
Hhahhahhah.... I like how this mo-ron was confirmed as the culprit via her (I am sure!) idiotic tattoos on her arms and hands.
She’s not an illegal alien. 8>)
She/ the perp is not awful looking though what are the bets she is bi or wacky lezzie? High I would say. Few of these Antifa, wanabee-Antifa and crypto-Antifa have normal sexuality.
Too bad she’s so screwed up. She looks like a young Joanne Woodward. (Paul Newman’s wife)
The right man will settle her down.
If we did and they hit it off, what kind of kids would they have?
She has altered her appearance, or that isn’t her. My guess goes with the alteration. 8>)
That gal is 25 going on 45.
Story said Police and Federal Charges. I do not think it was the Police, I do not believe they can bring Federal Charges. Either the Feds attested this person and the MSM does not understand the difference or the Police arrested her and had to get the Feds to charge since the local and state declined.
Her right eyebrow is a give away.
They need to make her pay for the damage. They better do it soon because she will be homeless before she is 30.
Well that is why I do go with the alteration theory. Not conclusive, but still damning for sure. 8>)
The FBI has all the expertise in arson, lots of chemical analysis needed, that’s why the Feds lead on arson.
City and state muckymucks are not enforcing the law.
They’re encouraging criminality, that’s why.
The Feds ultimately must enforce the law in defense of taxpayers.
Taxpayers paid for those cop cars.
“Protest”
Who do they think they’re.kidding?
Yep. We’ll be seeing a lot of tattoo regret upcoming.
The idjits didn’t know those are identifiers? LOL.
She’s not gonna pick the right man.
She wants a soyboy —to be daddy to her cats.
Why?
The trial will be in the SeaTac area...local jury...I wouldn’t be too sure she will have the book thrown at her.
