A 22-year-old woman has been arrested in California more than a week after falsely accusing the teenage son of a Black jazz musician of taking her iPhone in a heated confrontation caught on video.
Miya Ponsetto was arrested Thursday during a traffic stop in which she had to be forcibly removed from her car in Piru, located in Ventura County, nearly 3,000 miles from the lobby of the boutique Manhattan hotel where the physical confrontation occurred, authorities said.
She was arrested on a "fugitive warrant in connection with a recent assault at a New York City hotel," the Ventura County Sheriff's Office said in a news release. She was being held without bail at the Pre-Trial Detention Facility in Ventura, the sheriff's office said.
Detectives from the NYPD were present to help coordinate the arrest, according to the sheriff's office.
Ponsetto was picked up during a traffic stop near her home.
"She 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," according to the news release.
Ponsetto will remain in custody pending an extradition hearing, according to the news release.
Her attorney did not immediately respond to The New York Times for comment following the arrest. CNN is reaching out to the attorney, Sharen H. Ghatan.

Please tell me the judge can also take her non co-operation with the police into account when looking at her charges.

I had zero sympathy for this person when I first saw the original video...after I just watched this interview with Gayle King? Just...holy total privileged denial, Batman! Wow!  Now I'm just hoping some jail time might do her some good!
That's an impressively strong streak of entitlement she's got going there. Enjoy your time in the actual world, sweetie!  |

GOOD. I hope she gets what she deserves.
eta: I did try to watch that interview, but I couldn't get too far into it. her privilege and cluelessness is just so disgusting and off-putting. 'I didn't mean for him to feel bad... I'm really a sweet person.'

She has a history of drinking problems ! No excuses!!
With the arrest in CA, one charge is resisting arrest by fighting with the police etc.

Wow, she is blaming the dad! If she came after my kids like that, you bet my husband and I would be going after her to protect our child. And she is not a "young girl", she is a grown woman! I hope she spends time in jail!

Amy Cooper, the last super viral Karen, was also charged. It’s important to remember none of the Karens have received jail time. Remember the woman who accused the 8 year old of groping her. See? We have memories that are only so long. Everyone enjoys watching the pain of Black people but nothing effectual ever comes from it. The 911 caller that caused Tamir Rice murder? Who is she? youtu.be/1RGt3SX55Go |

With her history maybe she'll be given a vacation that she would never have chosen and certainly not very comfortable.

'I didn't mean for him to feel bad... I'm really a sweet person.' Basically, she describes herself as a 22 year old "girl" and the 14 year old CHILD as a "guy". She also doesn't understand how what she did is actually criminally racist. Victim culture Sick entitlement on full display.

That video is wild - does she really think people are going to think the problem is she might have hurt his feelings and ignore that she tackled him just because she doesn't acknowledge it. And lost your only way to get home - jesus - I know young people struggle to function without their phones, but that really did take it to a whole other level.

Is it victim culture or the pretty timeless idea that white women are innocent and victims while black kids no matter how young are treated like adults? If we keep dancing around the issue we will continue to have a society like the one we are living in now. abcnews.go.com/amp/US/african-americans-blamed-crimes-commit-experts/story?id=70906828 |

According to this article she is on a 3 year probation. That isn't going to help her case any. |

What causes privilege like the privilege we saw in that video? Without too much knowledge about her, I’m assuming that her particular privilege was started and encouraged, at home, her whole life. |

okay, I tried again... "all right, Gayle-- enough." REALLY?!?
if she's just an innocent, sweet virginal 22-year old girl scared to be alone in NYC, like she's portraying herself to be, then why the hell didn't she just stay in her protected little bubble?!?

And why did it happen, because SHE BELIEVED he had taken her phone.
Her beliefs trump reality.
Just like far too many in this country.
