An influencer who filmed herself laughing and cheering as people looted
stores in Philadelphia on Tuesday night has been arrested and charged with
six felonies.

Dayjia Blackwell, who is known as "Meatball" online, was among the people
who congregated near stores in Philadelphia's city center on Tuesday
night, where crowds were spotted leaving the Apple Store with stolen
iPhones and iPads, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

People also looted the nearby Foot Locker, Lululemon, and liquor stores,
the newspaper said.

Blackwell was one of 52 people arrested, interim Philadelphia Police
Commissioner John Stanford said in an X post.

Speaking to 6ABC Philadelphia, Stanford said: "She is livestreaming as she
is committing burglaries and encouraging others to commit burglaries."

Police said she led a "caravan of looters from store to store," according
to 6ABC.

Stanford said at a press conference that officers were already downtown
due to a protest against the decision to drop all charges against a former
Philadelphia police officer who was arrested in the fatal shooting last
month of Eddie Irizarry during a traffic stop.

After the protest disbanded, a group of young people congregated in the
city center, with some starting to loot stores in the area, he said.

Stanford called the thieves "criminal opportunists" who piggybacked on the
anger surrounding the case.

Blackwell, who has more than 189,000 followers on Instagram and nearly
500,000 followers on TikTok, livestreamed on Instagram as people looted
the stores.

According to the New York Post, she shouted "Free iPhones" repeatedly in
one part of the video. At other points, she laughed or cheered on the
crowds.

In another part of the livestream which was shared on social media,
Blackwell said: "Tell the police they either lock me up tonight or it's
going to get lit, it's going to be a movie."

She was arrested mid-livestream. Her mugshot appears to show her with
tears on her cheeks.

Blackwell was charged with six felonies and two misdemeanors, including
burglary, conspiracy, riot, and criminal use of a communication facility,
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

In a series of Instagram Live stories on Thursday morning, Blackwell said:
"I never been through nothing like that ever in my life. I don't even know
what happened. I need some sleep. I'm scared, I'm traumatized."

In response to Insider's request for comment, Blackwell simply responded:
"This me I'm home hey."
