NextImg:IT Exec Caught on Camera Keying Tesla Cybertruck in New Hampshire

An IT executive was allegedly caught on camera keying a Tesla Cybertruck in a hotel parking lot in New Hampshire over the weekend. Kerri Pouliot, the owner of the vehicle, said in a post on X that the vandalism happened within an hour of her arrival at the Omni Mount Washington Resort & Spa in Bretton Woods on Saturday.

The alleged perpetrator, James “Jim” Pelis, is a regional sales director for Armorcode, an AI-powered Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) platform used by security and development teams, according to his LinkedIn.

His alleged partner in crime, Charles Smith, is Head of Business Development at Celent, a research and advisory firm focused on technology for financial institutions, according to his LinkedIn.

Both men were immediately banned from the hotel following the incident, according to Pouliot.

When questioned by police, Pelis denied several times that he’d had anything to do with the vandalism.

“I don’t know what happened,” he said, despite the video evidence appearing to show him keying the vehicle.

“Well, we have it on camera,” the officer told him.

“Okay,” Pelis replied.

Carroll Police Chief Tadd A. Bailey said in a statement to American Greatness Tuesday that the incident is currently under investigation by the Carroll Police Department and the Coos County Attorney’s Office.

Pelis is facing felony charges pending the investigation.

Dozens of vandals have been caught on video keying Tesla vehicles in recent weeks as part of a leftwing backlash against Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s involvement in the Trump administration.

Left-wing organizers have planned a “global day of action” to “Take Down” Tesla on March 29, aiming for protests at 277 locations in the U.S. and 500 Tesla locations around the world.
