Weinman pleaded guilty to a disorderly persons charge after an altercation with police in Wildwood last Memorial Day Weekend.

Officers say the then 20-year-old refused to give her name after they questioned her about alcohol containers on the beach.

"Whatever happened that day on the beach, the video doesn't define the person that I am. I am a good person and I have good intentions and want to make the best out of my life," said Weinman.
