A socialite connected to the Rockefeller family has been arrested for allegedly crashing her car while drunk on New Year’s Eve in Florida.
Tiki Vashti Podray, 41, crashed into a white Honda Accord on Florida’s Turnpike on Sunday, Dec. 31, police say.
She then drove off in her Maserati, according to police, breaking down around a mile away.
Her passenger was Richard L. Rockefeller, who is a member of the Rockefeller philanthropic family. He goes by the name Rick Rockefeller-Silvia and is a model who often posts photos to Instagram.
Richard Rockefeller, 33, told police that the other driver had threatened to shoot him in the neck with what he thought was a gun. It turned out to be a cellphone, the report said.
He declined to press charges against the other driver.
Rockefeller’s mother is the great-great-granddaughter of famed billionaire oil entrepreneur John D. Rockefeller.
Podray was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a crash.
She was released from the Palm Beach County Jail the next day.
