Clean energy exec, ex-federal worker charged with defacing Tesla vehicles
Washington Post ^ | April 4, 2025 | Peter Hermann

A former federal government employee and his wife, an executive at a clean energy nonprofit, have been charged with defacing several Tesla vehicles in and around the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Northeast Washington, according to D.C. police, who are investigating the incidents as possible hate crimes.

Justin Fisher, 49, surrendered to authorities Tuesday and was charged with eight counts of defacing private property, police said in a statement. His wife, Emily Fisher, 50, turned herself in to police the next day and was charged with five counts of the same offense, the statement says.

The Fishers, who live in the Capitol Hill area, issued a joint statement through their separate attorneys, Carrie Crumbaugh Love and Joseph Scrofano, saying the couple are longtime residents of the District who “voluntarily come forward and cooperated” with D.C. police.

“Our understanding is that the allegations in this case involve non-violent and non-destructive conduct that resulted in no property damage,” the statement says. “We trust that the government and the court system will treat our clients with fairness and proportionality. We look forward to ensuring their constitutional rights are upheld in accordance with the rule of law.”

Police said various phrases deriding Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla founder who is now leading the charge to purge the federal workforce, were scrawled on car windows in March, including one belonging to a teacher at her elementary school.

“possible hate crimes”

Whenever any conservative does anything that might remotely be construed as a “hate crime,” they are slapped with “hate crime” enhancement charges.

Whenever a leftist does something that is clearly a “hate crime,” it is labeled a “possible hate crime” and has to be investigated to see if it really is. Or the police and courts immediately dismiss “hate crime” enhance charges.

We see this time and time again.

“We trust that ..the court system will treat our clients with fairness and proportionality. “


The trials, if any, will be held in the District. I don’t think they have too much to worry about on that. Hopefully the process will be uncomfortable for them.

Their lawyers said "“We trust that the government and the court system will treat our clients with fairness and proportionality.”

I totally agree. 25 to life would definitely b fair and proportional for people whose goal is to destroy a great American company, destroy capitalism, destroy a great patriotic American (Elon Musk), destroy the USA, and destroy Western Civilization.

That would be perfectly proportional.

“were scrawled on car windows “

They must have used crayons or soap or something that would wash off the glass, it appears intentional. Would be nice if President Trump could yank the pension though.

It sounds like the wife an Executive at a clean energy Non Profit just violated the rules of the founding charter by vandalizing clean energy vehicles. It seems like Non Profit status should be pulled and the organization forced to disband.
