"At around 1:38 a.m., Moses ignited the starter logs, causing a fire that destroyed a silver Tesla Cybertruck. Video shows Moses leaving the dealership on a dark colored bicycle shortly thereafter," the release notes.

"Arson can never be an acceptable part of American politics. Mr. Moses' actions endangered the public and first responders and could have easily turned deadly," U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine said in a statement.

"This five-year sentence reflects the gravity of these crimes and makes clear that politically fueled attacks on Arizona's communities and businesses will be met with full accountability," Courchaine noted.
