SoulCycle Instructor Who Cut Vaccine Line Could Face Criminal Charges

The SoulCycle instructor who described herself as an “educator” in order to get the COVID-19 vaccine may have committed a crime … but we’ve learned it’s unlikely she’ll be charged.

Stacey Griffith‘s looking at a possible perjury charge — or a charge of offering a false instrument for filing — if it’s shown she knowingly submitted a false statement on the vaccine eligibility form … this according to the New York State Dept. of Health.

Both charges are misdemeanors, and if convicted … she’d face up to 1 year in prison and a fine of up to $1,000.

A law enforcement source connected to the matter tells TMZ … it would be rare for prosecutors to charge someone with a crime under these circumstances.

Our source says Griffith could easily make the case she thought she legitimately qualified for the vaccine. In other words, she is a teacher … and although her conduct clearly violates the spirit of the rules … it probably falls short of criminality.

As we reported … Griffith caught flak after sharing a since-deleted photo of herself getting the first dose of the Moderna vaccine, while most school teachers have still not been vaccinated in NY.

She apologized afterward, claiming to have made a “terrible error in judgment.”
