Accused ‘Soho Karen’ attacker in Keyon Harrold Jr. case has DUI, public intoxication raps: report
Quote:
The “Soho Karen” who allegedly accused the 14-year-old son of jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold of swiping her iPhone in a hotel had two brushes with the law last year — one for public intoxication and another for drunken driving, according to a report.
Miya Ponsetto, 22, whom NYPD sources identified to The Post as the woman caught on camera falsely accusing Keyon Harrold Jr., was arrested in Beverly Hills for public intoxication on Feb. 28, the Daily Mail reported, citing police reports and court records.
That case is still pending and she is due in court on Jan. 28, according to the outlet.
And on May 28, she was collared for drunken driving near Calabasas, a city in Los Angeles County where Kim Kardashian owns a sprawling estate, the Daily Mail said.
Ponsetto was booked on four misdemeanor counts — two for driving under the influence of alcohol, one for driving with a suspended license and one for unlawful use of a driver’s license, according to the report.
Ponsetto also was named in a civil case involving an eviction for nonpayment in August 2019, the outlet reported, citing court records.
Photos posted online with Ponsetto’s name appear to match the young woman who tackled the boy at the Arlo Hotel in Manhattan’s Soho neighborhood.
On Tuesday, the woman told CNN that she does “worry” about the fallout — but maintains her allegation that she was assaulted during the incident
The NYPD has said it plans to hit the woman with raps that could include assault, grand larceny or attempted robbery, while Mayor Bill de Blasio has blasted the run-in as “plain and simple” racism.
