Although she was issued a notice to appear instead of being taken into custody, the case continued through the court system over the next few months. She first appeared in October 2025, entered a not guilty plea, and was assigned a public defender. The case was reset multiple times as it moved through hearings and plea conferences. In January 2026, she ultimately changed her plea to guilty. The judge withheld adjudication, so it did not result in a formal conviction, but But case still carried consequences. She was ordered to pay fines, court costs, and restitution totaling over $450 and was placed on a payment plan, which records show was later paid off. So, even though the incident involved just a few dollars, it still led to a months-long court process and financial penalties.
