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.

And ordered to give her back her Bic lighter.
With apologies and judge and police taking a knee in her presence as she leaves the courtroom in smug triumph. Yessir.
The FBI being involved does not make my heart soar like the eagle.
No “man” in his right mind would pick her.
Latest Bob Dylan interview has him saying young people will soon be in charge, totally forgetting all that we (older Americans) knew or how we once lived. A 10 year old now will then be in charge in 20-30 years and have no knowledge at all of the pre-tech era. Young people think entirely differently than we.

So this set of pictures represents our future.
This woman should be made the poster child against anarchism and publicly prosecuted to the fillest extent of the law....
They need to throw the book at that wanna-be revolutionary little c unt. She’s white at least, so maybe she’ll actually do some time. They’d be too chicken to prosecute a black person.
But that’s $5.00 per car. Don’t you think that’s a bit excessive?
I started saying this right away - all these idiot kids out there looting and burning are all on video
in fact In many cases they video themselves and posted it on the Instagram
in a lot of cases it’s gonna be very very easy for law-enforcement to rack up charges
now I do agree with your point that in cities like Seattle Baltimore or Philly you got District attorneysthat hate police and will just let them
She might clean up nicely.
Awaiting more evidence before rendering a verdict.

It must really conflict the BATFE to have to go after their fellow leftists instead of aiding and abetting them.

I wish he’d write a song about it. Something in a similar vein to THE TIMES THEY ARE A CHANGIN’
Her eyebrows were victims of the fires.
Do not confuse the professionalism of the rank and file agents and techs, with the abuse of power of the FBI 7th floor.
First time I was in Tacomah was in 1958 on my way to McChord AFB to fly to Alaska. It was a very good year.
I enjoy watching old Reruns of The Invaders on MeTV.
None of the murderous Aliens I’ve seen so far have been Black.
Lots of them were White Women though.
Just sayin’...
Even if not, she will get a chance to be a lezzie in Federal PMITA Prison.
That may be true in a normal case, but since it took place in Seattle while people we rioting and taking Seattle land for their own kingdom, I would guess that the Seattle police would never arrest nor the city prosecutor charge. Thus the Feds.
You can't fix stupid, but you can hit it with federal arson charges.

I don’t know about fires but my guess too much ingestion.
She’ll be out by 5pm local.
