The recent surge in “street takeover” events has generated extensive coverage, highlighting the challenges authorities face in identifying and prosecuting the organizers. However, Ohio has seen a breakthrough in this regard. In Cleveland, a young woman who orchestrated such gatherings in September 2024 has been sentenced following her conviction on charges of disrupting public service and aggravated riot.

Before receiving her sentence, she addressed the court:

In June, Miss Rogers admitted to these offenses. Alongside her jail sentence, she has surrendered her 2020 Infinity Q50 and her mobile phone. During her arrest last year, law enforcement also uncovered firearms and unspecified “other items” at her residence.

Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court Judge Kira Krivosh sentenced the 23-year-old Rogers to 18 months in prison for disrupting public service, plus a 12 month prison sentence for aggravated riot. Krivosh made the sentences concurrent, meaning Rogers will only serve a total of 18 months. 

She did make a statement before her sentencing:

“I want to express that I take full responsibility for my actions,” Rogers told Krivosh prior to her sentencing. “I understand that what I did was wrong, and I deeply regret the choices that led me here. I’m not here to excuse or minimize my actions, but to express my sincere remorse and to take accountability for the harm that was caused by my choices.”

Rogers added that since the street takeover, she has undergone individual and group therapy while surrounding herself “with better influences.”

“I’m not the same person I was on September 28th, and I hope you can see that I’m working hard and doing everything I can to be better for myself, my family and friends, and for the community,” she added.

Miss Rogers had pleaded guilty to the charges in June. In addition to her jail time, she has forfeited a car, a 2020 Infinity Q50, and her cellular phone. When she was arrested last year, the police also found firearms and unnamed “other items” in her home.
