Along with the probation, Blackwell must also pay a $10,000 fine.
“Baddies,” Blackwell responded, a nod to the reality show “Baddies Caribbean” which she has made an appearance on in its current season, according to the outlet.
Shaffer jokingly said he hoped to see Blackwell wearing a “Goodies” necklace.

Following the hearing, Blackwell joked about the necklace conversation and thanked supporters outside of the courthouse before calling the sentencing a “set up.”
“Never coming back to this place again,” Blackwell said on Instagram. “I just want to take the time to thank my lawyers and my supporters. If it wasn’t for ya’ll or my lawyer, I would probably be gone. And thanks to my mother for sticking by my side.
Blackwell recorded herself laughing, clapping and shouting “Let’s go! as she watched suspected looters fleeing while she was driven across Center City during the lootings on Sept. 26
Later in the evening, Blackwell was on foot as she followed the looters into stores.
“Tell the police they’re either gonna lock me up tonight, or it’s gonna get lit, it’s gonna be a movie,” she said at one point in her videos.
Blackwell’s excitement soon diminished as police booked the teary-eyed influencer into jail.
Blackwell, who has 962,000 followers on Instagram, still uses the mugshot as her profile picture on her Instagram account.

She got off easy, but that’s our DA’s. Distal system is so weak. You never held responsible for your actions.
