The woman dubbed the “SoHo Karen” — who falsely accused a Black teen of stealing her cell phone in New York City and was captured on video for so doing — has been arrested on the west coast.

The late Thursday afternoon arrest was not without incident.

According to a news release, the California’s Ventura County Sheriff’s Department “contacted Miya Ponsetto, age 22, during a traffic stop near her home in Piru,” an unincorporated historic town about an hour northwest of downtown Los Angeles. The Sheriff’s Department said the arrest was related to “a fugitive warrant in connection with a recent assault at a New York City hotel.”

Per the news release, Ponsetto “did not stop for deputies until she reached her residence, and she refused to get out of the car.”

“Deputies forcibly removed her from the vehicle and arrested her for the outstanding warrant,” the sheriff’s department said.  “Ponsetto was booked at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility in Ventura, where she is being held without bail for the fugitive warrant. She will remain in local custody pending an extradition hearing. Detectives from the New York Police Department arrived in Ventura County on Thursday morning to help coordinate the arrest.”

Under New York law, assault is the causing of physical injury with intent or the reckless causing of physical injury.

Video released by the New York Police Department showed what happened after the viral cell phone recording is said to have ended.  It shows Ponsetto “proceeded to physically attack” the teen “and fled the location before police officers arrived,” according to a tweet by NYPD Detectives Bureau Chief Rodney Harrison.

Ponsetto said that she approached the Black teen, since identified as 12-year-old Keyon Harrold, Jr., because she assumed anyone leaving the hotel was “probably the one . . . might be the one that is trying to steal” the phone.

“I admit, yes, I could have approached the situation differently or maybe not yelled at him like that and made him feel, you know, maybe — some sort of — uh — inferior way, making him feel as if I was like hurting his feelings, because that’s not my intention,” Ponsetto said. “I — I consider myself to be super sweet. I really never, ever meant for it to, like, hurt him or his father, either.”

Ponsetto clarified that she wasn’t stopping “everyone” leaving the hotel. She said she was undertaking her own detective work “while the hotel manager was checking the footage” to see who may have had the phone.

King challenged Ponsetto’s assertion that she was “super sweet” by directing her to the video of the altercation.

“How would you feel if you were alone in New York, and — you know — you’re going to spend time with your family during the holidays and you lose the one thing that gets stolen from you that has all of the access to the only way that you’re going to get back home,” Ponsetto said.

King said Ponsetto looked like she was “nuts” in the video. Ponsetto said the one tape didn’t show her whole personality.

Ponsetto said she “sincerely, from the bottom of her heart” apologized. But King said the video appeared to show that Ponsetto “physically attacked this young boy.”

Ponsetto then said the teen’s “dad did end up, like, slamming me to the ground, and, uh, pulling my hair, and throwing me, and dragging me across the ground, so, I, I will say that.”

King said that the video showed Ponsetto attacking the man’s son.

Ponsetto said she apologized for “yelling” and then suggested that people should “move on.”

King suggested that Ponsetto needed to address the “context” to her actions and understand them.

“Okay, so, basically, I’m — I’m a 22 year old girl. I am — I don’t — I — racism — is — uh — how is one girl accusing a guy about a phone a crime? Where is the context in that?” Ponsetto said before trailing off in thoughts about the context and deeper meaning.

It turned out the teen didn’t even have the phone, King pointed out, and said Ponsetto needed to understand her actions. King said the teen didn’t even have the phone and that Ponsetto was old enough to know better.

“Again, enough!” Ponsetto said while dismissively showing King the hand. “The hotel did have my phone. The hotel did end up having my phone. I did get my belongings returned to me.”
