HONOLULU (AP) – A Honolulu woman who kicked in the front door of Iolani Palace is being sentenced to a year in prison.

KHON reported Wednesday that Drew Paahao must also pay an $11,500 fine.

Public defender Steven Nicols says Paahao feels bad for what she did. He says it’s a source of shame for her and her family.

Surveillance video in February showed Paahao walking through the grand hall of the palace after breaking the 130-year-old glass door.

The fair market value of the antique etched glass panel was appraised at $100,000.

Paahao pleaded guilty in August to criminal property damage in the first degree and burglary in the second degree.

A judge told Paahao her record will be wiped clean if she avoids criminal conduct for four years.
