Seattle – A 25-year-old Tacoma resident was arrested this morning on five federal counts of arson for burning five Seattle Police vehicles parked in the area of Sixth and Pine in downtown Seattle on Saturday, May 30.
MARGARET CHANNON was taken into custody at her Tacoma residence today. According to the criminal complaint, investigators reviewed various videos taken of the Saturday arsons, as well as videos taken at a protest Friday evening.
CHANNON appears in videos from both days, and tattoos that she has on her hands and arms are clearly visible. Investigators determined she had listed addresses first in Seattle and later in Tacoma.
