The woman who falsely accused a black teen of taking her phone at a New York City hotel has been arrested in California.
Miya Ponsetto, or “SoHo Karen” as she has become to be known, was spotted three blocks from her home by police when they tried to pull her over, but she refused to stop.
Once in her driveway, Ponsetto had to be pulled from her vehicle but not before she tried to slam the door on a deputy's leg. Miya is currently being held without bail as she waits to be extradited back to New York.
Ponsetto has a history with the law, she has two DUIs, and now her lawyer, Sharen H. Ghatan, says she will only represent her for her case but says she is emotionally and mentally fragile and if she doesn’t listen to her advice there isn’t any more she can do.
