Harrison is accused of booking a hotel room in California using someone else's rewards points. It's believed she needed the hotel to attend a music festival.

Harrison has been a polarizing figure in Arizona, as her group favors hardline immigration enforcement and earlier this year, she spoke in support of children being separated from their families at the border.
