Battery Charge For Racist Nick Fuentes

DECEMBER 6--Nick Fuentes, the notorious far-right racist/antisemite, has been charged with battery for a confrontation outside his Illinois home with a woman who said she was maced and shoved to the ground by the scrawny white supremacist.

Fuentes, 26, was booked on the misdemeanor count last Wednesday at police headquarters in Berwyn, the Chicago suburb where he lives, according to documents obtained by TSG via a public records request.

After Fuentes walked into the station lobby on November 27, he was escorted to the booking area, where he was searched for weapons and fingerprinted. After signing a criminal citation and a notice to appear in court on December 19, “Fuentes was escorted back to the publicly accessible lobby and released.”

The battery charge against Fuentes stems from a November 10 incident outside his Home Avenue residence.

Marla Rose, a 57-year-old Berwyn resident, told cops that after seeing an online Fuentes post “in regards to women’s rights” that declared, “Your body my choice,” she decided to “record a video” of Fuentes’s Berwyn property. While recording, Rose said, a female passerby “encouraged her to speak with Nicholas, so she...rang his front doorbell.”

Fuentes opened the door and allegedly “immediately sprayed her in the face with pepper spray and pushed her with both hands on her upper body, causing her to fall backwards down the stairs and onto the concrete below.” Fuentes then grabbed Rose’s phone “and momentarily went inside his house before coming back out.”

The passerby told police that after Fuentes sprayed Rose in the face “with what she believed was pepper spray,” Rose was pushed to the ground and Fuentes “grabbed her phone and threw it against the concrete floor.”

A video recorded by Rose shows Fuentes (seen above) pointing an object at Rose, who says, “Oh my God, what are you doing?” He can be heard saying, “Get the fuck out of here” after Rose’s phone falls to the floor. The phone continues recording from inside Fuentes’s home as he kicks the device and locks the door.

Questioned by a Berwyn Police Department officer, Fuentes said that he had “posted a political joke online and for the past three days has been getting online death threats and people showing up at his house unannounced,” which left him “in fear for his life.” Fuentes then “became uncooperative” with the cop and refused “to speak about or answer any questions in regards to the incident with Marla.”

A responding officer observed “Marla’s eyes to be watery but no other physical injuries.”

After initially being unwilling to sign a complaint against Fuentes, Rose contacted cops last week and advised that she had opted to press charges. Rose, records, show, provided cops with the iPhone she used to record Fuentes.

On November 25, Rose told cops that a sealed envelope had been mailed to her home and she “was afraid to open” it. The envelope, sent from Miami by “Your Republican Congressman,” was opened by cops and found to contain “several papers related to President-Elect Donald J. Trump, Nicholas Fuentes of Berwyn, IL, and other memes.” The envelope was “placed in evidence for safe keeping,” cops noted.

According to property records, Fuentes bought his Berwyn home--from which he apparently broadcasts his hateful rants--in late-2020 for $390,900. He financed the purchase with a $292,425 loan from Union Home Mortgage. Title to the property (pictured above) was transferred from Fuentes’s name to Chicco Properties, an Illinois LLC that was formed in September 2020 and listed its manager as Marlene Chicco, Fuentes’s grandmother (who died in May 2021). On the firm’s articles of organization, Fuentes is listed as the “organizer.” (5 pages)
