Miya Ponsetto was charged with attempted robbery, grand theft, two counts of attempted assault, and endangering the welfare of a child in a Manhattan court on Saturday. 

In December, she was caught on camera attacking a 14-year-old Black teen in an NYC hotel because she falsely believed he had taken her phone.

Ponsetto was spotted yelling at, lunging at, and allegedly violently attacking K.eyon Harrold Jr., son of jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold, on December 26 at the Arlo Soho hotel because she thought he had her iPhone; the hotel staff later found the phone.

Miya Ponsetto, 22, was arrested and booked into a Ventura County jail.

NYPD officers wanted Ponsetto in connection with an incident on December 26 at Manhattan’s Arlo Soho hotel.

During this, Ponsetto was seen accusing 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. of stealing her phone and grasping at him as he tried to flee. 

Ponsetto appeared to have attempted to attack Keyon Harrold from behind in security footage from the scene of the incident.

The teen’s father, jazz trumpeter Keyon Harrold, captured the footage, who can hear urging Ponsetto to leave his kid alone. 

Ponsetto may be seen tackling Keyon Jr. from behind in security footage later released by the NYPD.

Ponsetto, who has a history of DUI and public intoxication offenses, asked a Daily Mail photographer why she thought Harrold Jr. had taken her phone when she returned to California on Sunday following her court appearance. ‘Because he did,’  she said.

Ponsetto’s phone had been left in an Uber and was returned to him by the driver shortly after, according to Keyon Harrold.

On September 1, SoHo Karen was also detained for drinking alcohol in a public location. 

According to the NYPD, Miya was charged with assault, grand theft, and stalking. 

In California, the case is still being investigated.

In the year 2020, she was arrested twice.

In 2019, Miya was sued in Los Angeles Superior Court by a property management company for owing $1,250 in rent at her Sun Valley, California, apartment with a man she was living with.
