Tacoma gal tied up for 5 cop car-BQs during Seattle ‘protests‘, blames tats

2020-06-19

[KOMONews] A woman from Tacoma was arrested Thursday morning and faces five federal counts of arson in connection to burning five Seattle Police Department vehicles during George Floyd protests.

Margaret Aislinn Channon, 25, was arrested at her Tacoma home for allegedly setting five patrol vehicles on fire that were parked in the area of Sixth and Pine.

U.S. Attorney Brian T. Moran said the 25-year-old was caught on multiple cameras May 30 using an accelerant lit like a blowtorch to start fires in five police vehicles.

Investigators review footage from the arsons and videos from a June 5 protest to identify Channon, who had tattoos on her hands and arms that were "clearly visible."

Some of the woman's tattoos linked her to a missing person report in Texas in 2019. Investigators found her social media accounts to confirm her identity and later determine her address in Tacoma.

A search warrant for Channon's Tacoma home confirmed her distinctive tattoos in the videos. Authorities seized clothing and accessories that appear in some of the videos from the arsons.

Channon could spend up to 10 years in prison if she is convicted of arson charges.

#2 Forget Chris, it's Tacoma.

Fed charges will be prosecuted. With the feds, its truth in sentencing. 10 years is 10 years.

#1 why only 10? I would think state charges would hold more time than that, but I do live in Georgia.
