Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes has been charged with battery following an alleged incident in Berwyn, Illinois, last month. The 26-year-old, known for his controversial political views, is accused of assaulting 57-year-old Marla Rose, a local resident, when she confronted him outside his home.
Fuentes posted what appeared to be his mugshot on social media platform X on Friday, in light of the incident, drawing further media attention to his ongoing legal challenges.

According to Rose, her attempt to contact Fuentes stemmed from his controversial remarks on X (formerly Twitter) during the presidential election. She approached his home on November 10, but before she could ring the doorbell, Fuentes allegedly opened the door, pepper-sprayed her, and shouted profanities. He then took her phone and retreated into his house. Rose later confirmed these details in an interview with the Chicago Tribune.

Fuentes has since been charged with misdemeanor battery and was released from custody after being fingerprinted by Berwyn Police on November 27. A court appearance is set for December 19 in Maywood.

This incident is merely the latest in a series of controversies surrounding Fuentes. Notably, he hosted a dinner with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago in 2022, which generated significant backlash. Fuentes is also known for his involvement in the 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, and has faced consistent criticism for his racist and sexist comments. As the legal process continues, further details regarding this recent confrontation remain unclear.
