So you may have heard, over the past week or so, of the woman who assaulted the 14-year-old son of a (Black) Grammy-award-winning musician in a New York hotel, accusing the boy of stealing her iPhone -- a phone which it turns out she left in an Uber car and which was returned to her fifteen minutes after she tackled the kid and injured him while trying to wrest his iPhone out of his hands.

You may have heard that she left the hotel before police arrived and subsequently returned to her home in California before she was identified as Miya Ponsetto of Piru, California.  You may have heard that Ms. Ponsetto has had a prior brush with the law, being drunk and disorderly in a different hotel.

What you may not have heard is that California police have arrested her on a fugitive warrant from New York.

Meanwhile, her attorney is begging everyone to have sympathy for poor little Miya.

EDIT: Save for the racial aspect of the assault this probably wouldn't be in politics. But hey, we needed a little distraction from everything else.
