CHICO, Calif. - According to Butte County District Attorney Mike Ramsey, three Chico women admitted their guilt in court Wednesday morning for attempting to set a Chico State University police car on fire.
Ramsey says Maria Magana, 21, Clarissa Pauline Volasgis, 20, and Autum Nichole Cossins, 20 set a Chico State police car on fire with a molotov cocktail. All three students plead no contest in the Butte County Superior Court to one count of felony attempted arson.
Ramsey says the incident took place in the early morning on May 31 when the three defendants decided to "send a message" about police brutality by burning a police car.
The trio also set a series of bushes on fire outside of the parking structure on the other side of the police station about 2:30 a.m. before fleeing the scene. A police dispatcher viewing surveillance cameras from inside the station saw Volasgis set herself on fire briefly and then throw part of the incendiary device onto the Chico State police car.
Luckily, the fire went out as a responding University Police Sergeant arrived at the location and chased Volasgis and Magana on foot, but then they jumped into a Ford SUV and left the area at a high rate of speed. The sergeant says the rear license plate was covered.
Later that morning, the students were spotted by surveillance cameras at a nearby gas station filling cups and a liquor bottle with gasoline. With assistance from the local FBI and University Police Officers, the surveillance footage of the car and license plate were found, and all three women were eventually identified and arrested.
Volasgis and Magana were booked into the Butte County Jail on June 1, and Cossins was booked the following day.
All three defendants are due in court on Aug. 5, 2020, for sentencing, Ramsey said. All three remain in custody with no bail. They each face a maximum term of 3 years in state prison.
Additionally, Magana, who is a Chico State student, will be under a conduct review by the university.
I do not think that any of them would get the maximum term...They will probably get a few months...
Three ladies should be prepared to tell the judge that they are really sorry about what they did...Maybe they should cry...In August, the judge has to decide what the punishment for the ladies should be...
Ladies? LOL! They ain’t ladies!
This is the best part of the story. 👍
Amazing, A female student can be kicked out of a college just for being a Trump supporter. And we will just have to see what happens to those 3 female social justice warriors.
I’d max em out and bring the whole show to a stop. Sorry ladies....if it makes you feel better....consider yourselves martyrs.
Why are you using the word ladies? I don’t see any ladies. Garbage maybe
Guilty
Triple damages and restitution.
They can make a lot of license plates.
Shoot them. Do the world a favor.
The three BLM stooges.
“All three defendants are due in court on Aug. 5, 2020, for sentencing, Ramsey said. All three remain in custody with no bail. They each face a maximum term of 3 years in state prison”
They all pleaded guilty. Hummmmm that tells me the three stooges lawyers have already cut a deal with the DA. No bail? Did their Parents and Hollywood abandon them? Come the Aug. sentencing I won’t be surprised by a time served Judgement.
Re: “They each face a maximum term of 3 years in state prison.”
LOL - less time than Roger Stone got for being convicted of political self-aggrandizement.
Someone needs to ask AG William Barr if the arson penalty is also “appropriate and fair.”
Okay, not exactly criminal geniuses.
Hey Ma, top of the world!
Halifax - Men are not hang’d for stealing horses, but that horses may not be stolen. Whenever a knave is not punished, an honest man is laughed at.
Don’t forget to assess them to pay damages for destruction of the car along with their felony convictions and jail sentences
They should serve the full three years.
Justice would be to do to them what they did to the police cars. What useless, uncivil losers.
Apparently that message is, "Stupid as I wanna be!"
They definitely should not walk. A few months in jail may make them hardened criminals for life, I doubt it, or it may snap them out of their cheap crap.
