PAPILLION, Neb. (AP) — A Des Moines woman convicted for smashing windows at a Nebraska defense contractor’s building has been ordered to pay more than $4,000 for the damage. The Omaha World-Herald reports that Sarpy County District Judge Patricia Lamberty ordered 34-year-old Jessica Reznicek to pay $4,126. She was also sentenced to time already served.

At her trial earlier this month, a Bellevue police officer testified that he found Reznicek near a baseball bat outside the Bellevue offices of Northrop Grumman on Dec. 27 and said Reznicek told him she used it to smash windows in an attempt to get documents. Reznicek testified her actions were because Northrop Grumman had weapons contracts with the U.S. government.

Reznicek’s request for return of the bat, sledgehammer and camera used in the vandalism was denied.
