“SoHo Karen,” the white woman who made headlines earlier this year after wrongly accusing a black teenager of stealing her phone at a New York City Hotel, has been identified and arrested in California this past week.

22-year-old Miya Ponsetto was taken into custody late last week by detectives from the New York Police Department after they flew out to California with a warrant for her arrest. The arrest comes after cell phone footage shows an altercation between Ponsetto and Grammy award-winning jazz musician Keyon Harrold and his son. In the video, the two were berated by the 22-year-old in the hotel's lobby as she falsely accused Harrold's 14-year-old son of stealing her iPhone.

In the cell phone footage that was recorded by Harrold and shared on his Instagram, Ponsetto can be seen charging toward the teen and accusing him of taking her phone. In footage that the hotel later released, Ponsetto can be seen racing after the teen as he tries to exit the hotel. Ponsetto then tackled the teen and wrestled him to the ground. It was revealed that the iPhone was later returned to the hotel by an Uber driver after it was found in his car.

After her arrest, NYPD charged Ponsetto with attempted robbery, grand larceny, and acting in a manner injurious to a child. She is also facing two counts of attempted assault as well.

The Interview Seen Around the Nation

Before she was arrested, Ponsetto gave an exclusive interview to Gayle King on “CBS This Morning.” In the interview, Ponsetto is sitting alongside her attorney Sharon Ghatan as she recalled the events of that morning in the hotel.

I really never meant to hurt him or his father, either." She adds with a little more agitation in her voice, "How is one girl accusing a guy about a phone, a crime? Where's the context in that? What is the deeper story here?"

King pushes back regarding Ponsettos’ remorse and understanding of the situation with, "You seemed to have attacked this teenager about the phone and then it turned out, he didn't even have your phone. You're saying you're 22-years-old, but you are old enough to know better."

At this point in the interview, things take a sour turn as Ponsetto snaps back at the seasoned reporter, "All right Gayle, enough."

In the interview, Ponsettos' attorney can be seen trying to calm the 22-year-old down. Ghatan later defended her client to NBC News by sharing, “Things took a life of their own. Miya is young, she let her emotions get the best of her. That phone could have been in the hands of a 90-year-old grandma, an Asian person... someone Black or blue. She lost her mind for a hot minute. She is sorry." Ghatan adds, "Sadly these poor Harrolds had to deal with the aftermath.”

Although Ponsetto insists that she is a "sweet girl" who does not normally behave in such a manner, her record shows a different image. On February 28, Ponsetto was charged with public intoxication and battery for a Beverly Hills hotel incident. And on May 28, the 22-year-old was arrested in Van Nuys, California, for driving under the influence.

Harrold's son has expressed his shock at being on the receiving end of what many are calling another instance of racial profiling by a white woman. Harrold Jr. shares, “I don’t know what would have happened if my dad wasn’t there. These past few days, I'm still kind of shell-shocked, but I’m hanging in there." He adds, "For me, I was confused because I had never seen that lady ever and I didn’t know what to do in the moment. That’s why I was happy to have my dad here to help me.”
