Miya Ponsetto — aka SoHo ‘Karen’ — isn’t going to court kicking and screaming the way she allegedly has when getting arrested … this time cops made sure it wouldn’t happen, with the help of a couple restraints.
Here’s Miya being led out of an NYC police precinct in lower Manhattan Saturday by a couple of detectives who are escorting her to a waiting vehicle, which is set to take her to Manhattan Criminal Court … where she’s expected to be arraigned on a slew of charges.

Check out Miya … she’s obviously handcuffed, but her feet are shackled as well. She’s also got a face mask on, a beanie, black leggings and Birkenstocks … similar to what she wore when she attacked 14-year-old Keyon Harrold Jr. at the Arlo Hotel in SoHo, falsely claiming he stole her iPhone.
As for her feet being bound … it’s interesting. Miya’s got a documented history of allegedly resisting arrest — in fact, cops say she did exactly that when they picked her up most recently and extradited her to NYC. Time after time, she appears to put up a fight.

Miya’s been rung up on a ton of charges — including attempted robbery, grand larceny, acting in a manner injurious to a child and two counts of attempted assault — but she hasn’t been charged with a hate crime, which is telling.
Keyon Jr.’s parents and their attorney, Ben Crump, made it clear this week on ‘TMZ Live’ … there are two justice systems in this country, and that Black people often get the short end of the stick when authorities pursue “justice: on their behalf. They want her charged with a hate crime.
As for Saturday’s scheduled arraignment … we’re hearing she should appear before a judge sometime this evening. No word yet on whether Miya plans to enter a plea.
