Tesla Tagger Arrested After Man Spits On Stalled Car In South OC

IRVINE, CA — A 25-year-old man suspected of serial vandalizing several Teslas in Orange County was arrested Tuesday.

Max Sebastian Solomon was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of felony vandalism, according to Irvine police.

The arrest comes after authorities asked for the public's help in tracking down a suspect who was caught on video footage vandalizing a Tesla with spray paint.

The same man was believed to have vandalized nine more Teslas with spray paint in the same parking structure near Michelson and Carlson, police said.

Police say a suspect who spat on a Tesla idling at an intersection helped lead investigators to the arrest.

Solomon was identified as a suspect by the takeout order he had in his hand when he allegedly spat on the car, police said.
