Nick Fuentes (Berwyn Police Department).
Body camera footage shows white nationalist Nick Fuentes speaking to police about him pepper spraying and shoving a woman who showed up at his home.
“I’m not a white sup–I’m Mexican. My last name is Fuentes,” he said in a video dated Nov. 10.
He chose not to respond to inquiries about whether he pushed the woman or used pepper spray on her. He mentioned receiving threats of violence and harm, with people even sharing his address online.
He was later arrested for battery.
Fuentes recently stated that he believes he was a target of a now-deceased individual who was involved in a triple homicide. However, law enforcement has not yet verified if the person in question, John R. Lyons, is indeed the same individual captured in Fuentes’ released footage.
The woman who was allegedly attacked informed the police in Berwyn, Illinois, that she visited Fuentes’ residence that day because of a post he had made following the re-election of Donald Trump as President.
“Your body, my choice. Forever,” Fuentes wrote mockingly.
The woman told police that she simply rang the doorbell. Fuentes opened up, immediately pepper sprayed her, and in the same movement, he pushed her down the steps, she said. He grabbed her phone and went back inside, she said. She agreed not to return to the home.
As seen in the footage, the initial officer at the scene got the phone back from Fuentes. When the officer began to speak with him in earnest, Fuentes tried to lead him all the way to the backyard. This sparked an argument over where they would talk.
“Can we do it here, man?” said the officer, standing in the alleyway. “I don’t want to go all the way to the back.”
“No,” said Fuentes, insisting. “She’s going to –”
“No, I’m telling you. Let’s do it here.”
“Let’s do it here,” Fuentes said.
