Well-known social media star Isabella Maria DeLuca has been charged with misdemeanors after being reportedly involved in the U.S. Capitol attack that happened back on January 6, 2021. The FBI was allegedly investigating her from the same month after they were tipped about her participation in the riot.

The court records revealed that Isabella used a table to get out of the place. The legal documents stated that she also captured a few pictures and videos from the spot and then reportedly threw the table towards the Tunnel leading to the Capitol, where the rioters used it while confronting the law enforcement officials.

When the FBI started investigating her, they discovered that she had purchased a few things in Washington, D.C., before and after the riots. DeLuca was reportedly contacted by someone through Instagram on the day of the riot, and she replied that she was on her way to the U.S. Capitol.

Meanwhile, she shared a post on X, saying she never expected to get arrested. Isabella said she is prepared to face anything and added:

"Yet, through it all I remain and will remain steadfast in my convictions. This experience for me, has only served to shed light on the challenges conservative Americans, Christians, and Trump supporters face daily."

"People went to the Capitol building because that's Our House and that's where we go to take our grievances. People feel, as do I that an election was stolen from them and it was allowed."
