A Republican Congressional candidate hoping to unseat Ilhan Omar is facing felony shoplifting charges.
Danielle Stella, 31, a supporter of President Donald Trump, was arrested twice this year in the thefts of 279 items worth more than $2,300 from Target and $40 worth of goods from a grocery store in Minneapolis, The Guardian reported.
Stella reportedly described Minneapolis as 'the crime capital of our country.' She previously complained that local police were 'overworked and overburdened' and said that she would work to reduce crime if she was elected.
She told the news outlet: 'I am not guilty of these crimes. In this country I am innocent until proven guilty and that is the law.'She added: 'If I was guilty of crimes, I would never run for public office, putting myself in the public eye under a microscope to be attacked by all political sides.'
EDITOR’S NOTE: She’s innocent because the tooth fairy did it.
