A man caught on camera causing thousands of dollars in damages to at least six Tesla vehicles in Minneapolis will not face charges — at least for now.

A man caught on video vandalizing multiple Tesla vehicles in Minneapolis won't be charged for now, the Hennepin County Attorney's Office has said, but will pay for the estimated $21,000 in damages he caused and enter a diversion program to prevent further offending.

A recent decision by the Hennepin County attorney to not file criminal charges against a Minneapolis man accused of vandalizing a half-dozen Teslas has sparked criticism from local police and at the State Capitol.
