Porn star Stormy Daniels has been arrested in Columbus, Ohio while performing at a strip club on Wednesday, according to her attorney, Michael Avenatti.

"Just [received] word that my client @StormyDaniels was arrested in Columbus Ohio whole performing the same act she has performed across the nation at nearly a hundred strip clubs," attorney Michael Avenatti said in a tweet. "This was a setup & politically motivated."

"It reeks of desperation," Avenatti added. "We will fight all bogus charges. #Basta."

Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, allegedly allowed a customer to "touch her while on stage in a non sexual manner," Avenatti said in another tweet.
