When she received her sentence in November she tweeted, "I'm just gonna make a blanket statement to all the people that are calling me and texting me. You win!!! I'm going to prison. So you don't need to contact me anymore. Pop champagne and then rejoice. But just leave me alone. Thank you."

As part of a plea deal she pled guilty to the charge of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building -- a misdemeanor.
