Man charged in Colorado Tesla firebomb attack denies trying to ‘run’ from feds

A Colorado man facing two federal felony charges for allegedly firebombing a Tesla dealership denies a suggestion from the US Attorney General that he was trying to “run” from authorities.

Cooper Frederick, 24, of Fort Collins, is charged with possession of an unregistered destructive device and malicious attempted destruction of property in the March 7 attack on Tesla property in Loveland, Colorado.

(Snip)

Frederick’s attorney called Bondi’s suggestion that Frederick was on the run a “material misrepresentation” of the case.

“Mr. Frederick lived in Colorado until March 19 when the decision was made for him to move home to Texas to live with his parents,” attorney Kelly Page told CNN. “Despite the insinuation by Ms. Bondi that Mr. Frederick fled and was apprehended in Texas, DOJ was notified of this move by counsel, and Mr. Frederick remained fully cooperative with the courts and the investigation until he was arrested on the warrant at his home in Texas.”

Ok. I'll give the little feller a small benefit of doubt that he wasn't running from the Feds and he only wanted to have more quality time at home with mommy and daddy. But, he should have moved BEFORE damaging Teslas. And that's because living in prison won't be as nurturing as living at home with mommy and daddy.

So, maybe he didn’t run. And maybe he didn’t hide. And maybe it was all just a little mistake. LOL. FAFO.

“DOJ was notified of this move by counsel,”

______

Yeah, notice there is no mention of the date of notification nor whether that notification came before or after how long after the warrant was issued.

Perp: “I wasn’t trying to run from the feds. We went in different directions, that’s all. Two roads diverged in the wood and I took the one less traveled. It made all the difference.”

Judge: “That’s almost poetic. Case dismissed.”

In an ideal world of justice and karma, a few cops with body cams would have their body cams focused on the perp running while a sniper take him down.

In my younger days, I got pulled over for a suspected DUI. When I saw the lights, I slowed way down and looked for a safe place to pull over and stop on the busy street, it took 15-20 secs for me to find a spot.

In the police report the cop made it sound like I was maybe trying to get away.

On the plus side, he'll have lots of friends in prison - you might say that he'll have friends up the @ss, to use a colloquialism that means "lots".

He was just hiding, not running.
