Kai DeBerry-Bostick’s mother publicly defended her daughter after the incident, stating, “She is not a bad person,” and assured that she would address what her daughter is going through.
Kai DeBerry-Bostick, 28, is a former Bowie State University cheerleader and an entrepreneur at KaiDesigns.
She studied Accounting at Bowie State University and attended McKinley Technology High School.
Originally from Newark, Delaware, she is currently living in Washington, D.C. and works for a government contracting office.
Recently, on May 11, 2025, she was involved in a serious incident at the Laurel Main Street Festival in Maryland.
She was caught on police bodycam footage removing a barricade and driving into a police officer before speeding through a crowded street fair.
She reportedly told officers she needed to get through the festival to get to work in Virginia.
However, they refused to let her pass, then she tore down police tape and proceeded to drive through the event, narrowly missing pedestrians.
She was arrested the same day and charged with assault and is currently being held without bond.
Her defense attorney argued that her car was blocked due to the festival, leading to an “unfortunate reaction” to the officer’s orders.
