The woman nicknamed “Soho Karen” after falsely accusing a black teenager of stealing her cell phone at a Manhattan hotel, allegedly had a second DUI charge last year while on parole for the first.
Miya Ponsetto, 22, was arrested in Ventura County on October 3 by DUI, resisting arrest and obstructing or delaying a peace officer or EMT, according to court records obtained by TMZ.
Five days earlier, Ponsetto was released on parole after failing to contest an arrest for drunk driving in May in Los Angeles.
Ponsetto may have violated his probation with the second arrest, according to a letter sent to Los Angeles County.
Last February, Ponsetto and his mother were also charged with public intoxication and assault after triggering a riot at the Peninsula Hotel in Beverly Hills, according to a police report on the incident.
Ponsetto has been hiding in California since his confrontation on December 26 with Keyon Harrold Jr., 14, – son of the jazz trumpeter of the same name – at the Arlo Hotel.
She was seen in a viral video addressing the teenager, who she wrongly accused of stealing her phone.
The incident prompted Manhattan prosecutors to accuse Ponsetto.
