After RCMP released the images, which were shown on local media, the woman turned herself in.
Police were considering a charge of mischief but instead the matter was handled through Restorative Justice.
That typically involves a person accepting responsibility for their actions, apologizing and making restitution for the damage done.
In return, they’re spared court prosecution.
