Authorities say 36-year-old Kevin Tubbs was charged yesterday with one arson count for each of the vehicles he is accused of torching at Joe Romania Chevrolet.
Tubbs is one of six people arrested this month in the most extensive bust of suspected eco-saboteurs in U.S. history.
The Earth Liberation Front issued a note from the saboteurs in 2001. It said the SUV fire was a strike against capitalism and air pollution.
Federal authorities told The Oregonian newspaper they would not comment.
Last week, Tubbs was charged in the 1998 firebombing of a U.S. Department of Agriculture research facility in Olympia, Washington.
