A Philadelphia influencer, who livestreamed a looting spree in the city last year, has been sentence to five years of probation and over 100 hours of community service, but avoids jail.
Dajiya Blackwell, also known as Meatball on social media, 22, was charged with burglary, conspiracy, criminal trespass, riot, criminal mischief, criminal use of communication facility, receipt of stolen property and disorderly conduct after a widespread looting in Philadelphia in October.
The looting had started after a judge dismissed all charges against a former police officer who shot and killed Eddie Irizarry – a 27-year-old man who had been pulled over for ‘driving erratically’.
Blackwell had livestreamed the looting and asked her Instagram followers to join her as she ran through the street.
Blackwell will complete 150 hour of community service, pay a $10,000 and serve her probation as part of her sentencing.
