FBI detains actor from ‘Lady Ballers’ after Daily Wire film debut

Actor Arrested Following ⁤Premiere of Comedy Show

An actor who appeared in the DailyWire+ comedy “Lady Ballers” was arrested last week in Nashville after the show’s premiere. Siaka Massaquoi was charged⁣ for his presence at the U.S. ‌Capitol on January 6,⁣ 2021.

Federal authorities apprehended Massaquoi ⁤and his wife, Charlotte, on ⁣November 30 upon their return to California. The arrest took place‍ without an arrest ‍warrant, leaving⁢ Charlotte unaware of⁤ the ⁣charges. Massaquoi was taken to the Monterey Park⁢ Jail and charged with four‌ misdemeanors related to​ the events​ of January 6.

According to ⁢The ⁣Los Angeles Times, Massaquoi’s⁢ home‍ was raided by FBI‌ agents three years ago, six months after the Capitol incident. Video footage from the breach, posted by the activist group StopHate, allegedly shows Massaquoi inside the Capitol building.

Massaquoi’s arrest has sparked controversy, with many claiming it to⁣ be political persecution. Seth Dillon, CEO of⁤ The Babylon Bee, called it an unjust punishment for Massaquoi’s support of former President Trump.

The actor’s arrest warrant, which​ includes charges of knowingly entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct, has​ been shared on social media.‌ Despite never being charged before, Massaquoi and ‌his family have long feared​ this day would come, as he has faced‌ scrutiny at airports⁢ for years.

A fundraiser has been‌ set up to cover Massaquoi’s legal expenses, with nearly⁢ $40,000 raised so far. The campaign also asks for prayers⁢ as the couple ​is expecting their first child.

Massaquoi, known for his⁢ roles ⁢in​ shows like “S.W.A.T” and ⁤”NCIS: Los Angeles,” also starred‍ in The Daily Wire’s “Lady Ballers.” The film’s director, Jeremy Boreing, defended Massaquoi, criticizing the timing ⁣and‌ nature of the arrest.

More than two months after ⁤filing a lawsuit ⁢against the FBI and ⁢other government entities, Massaquoi was arrested.‍ The ​lawsuit seeks to challenge⁤ the surveillance ‍and treatment of peaceful protesters on January 6.

The Department of Justice has charged over 1,069 individuals from across the country⁤ in connection to the events at the Capitol. The FBI‌ declined to comment on Massaquoi’s arrest.

The incident, which shocked the nation ⁣and sparked outrage, involved ‍a violent breach of the Capitol building‍ by a mob of⁤ pro-Trump supporters.
