A conservative social media influencer has been arrested on misdemeanor charges related to her involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol, including an accusation that she helped to steal a table that the F.B.I.
says was used to assault officers, according to court documents.
The influencer, Isabella M. DeLuca, 24, of Setauket, N.Y., was arrested on Friday in Irvine, Calif., in Orange County, on several charges, including theft of government property, entering a restricted building, disorderly conduct and demonstrating in a Capitol building.
After Ms. DeLuca “passed the table out of the window,” according to the complaint, she appeared to use her cellphone to record video or take photographs of rioting.
She later deleted several social media posts relating to the attack in a likely “attempt to thwart any subsequent criminal investigation,” according to the complaint, which was prepared by an F.B.I.
