A 40-year-old woman was arrested after police say they found a number of explosives at a Colorado Tesla dealership, the latest incident in a string of apparent protests against Tesla CEO and DOGE leader Elon Musk.

Lucy Grace Nelson was charged with explosives or incendiary devices use, felony criminal mischief and criminal attempt to commit felonies, according to a news release from the Loveland Police Department.

An “extensive investigation” was initiated Jan. 29 after the dealership was vandalized several times, with incendiary devices found at the business, according to authorities.

“The Loveland Police Department continues to work closely with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ Denver Field Division with Federal charges likely to follow,” according to Loveland Police.

Padgett said the department is not sure if others are involved, but there is no threat to the community.

Indivisible, an organization founded by former Democratic congressional staffers, has been urging liberals to stage demonstrations against Musk, Fox News Digital previously reported.

The activist group published a “tool kit” with protest recommendations, including a section about how to “take the fight to Elon.”

It specifically includes steps for planning and executing a demonstration at Tesla dealerships, showrooms and factories.

“Members of the House of Representatives will be back on your home turf from Friday, February 14th, through Sunday, February 23rd, and it’s our opportunity to remind them who they work for,” according to the group’s website. “Fighting back against the Trump-Musk coup is going to take all of us.”

The protests come after the Department of Government Efficiency began slashing spending at various federal agencies at the direction of President Donald Trump,
