Far-right influencer Nick Fuentes posted his mugshot to X just hours after he was arrested for battery.
The 26-year-old was arrested after allegedly pepper-spraying a woman who showed up at his home following his controversial 'your body, my choice' post.
Marla Rose, 57, reported to police that she visited Fuentes' home in Berwyn, Illinois, on November 10 to film his residence after seeing his contentious social media post.
She claimed Fuentes pepper-sprayed her, pushed her onto the concrete and broke her phone. According to a police report filed the next day, Rose showed no visible physical injuries but had 'watery' eyes.
Fuentes was arrested later in November and released the same day. He is scheduled to appear in court on December 19.
He did not speak about the incident but shared mugshots on X (formerly Twitter) on Friday, captioning them, 'Free me n****.'
Meanwhile, Rose posted on Facebook, stating, 'It. Is. On. PS — Civil case pending.' Attempts to reach Rose for comment were unsuccessful.
Footage of the altercation has been circulating on social media. In the video, Fuentas opened the door and immediately sprayed the can at the person recording the video on their phone.

The camera operator could be heard yelling, 'Hey, what are you doing,' just seconds before getting sprayed.
The phone, still recording, then hit the ground, which Fuentas picked up and took into his house.
The confrontation followed Fuentes' viral Election Day post, 'Your body, my choice. Forever,' referencing abortion policies. The post has garnered more than 99.6 million views.
After it went viral, Fuentes' personal information, including his home address, began circulating online.
Some social media users responded by sharing images of his house, captioned, 'Your house, our choice.'
Fuentes, who previously got into hot water when he threw food at someone at an In-n-Out in 2022, told police he feared for his life after receiving death threats and unannounced visits to his home, attributing the harassment to his political joke.
Another woman passing by Fuentes' house reported seeing a man shoving a woman outside.
When police arrived, Rose and Fuentes were separated for interviews. The report noted Fuentes became 'uncooperative' and refused to answer further questions.

In a since deleted Facebook post, Rose admitted her decision to visit Fuentes' house was influenced by his online comments.
She also repeatedly shared his address in the post.
