As the saying goes, hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.  But, few take this saying literally and most wouldn't do what 61-year-old Long Island, New York, resident chose to back on August 20, 2015.  Last week, Rockman turned herself in to the police after a warrant for her arrest was issued for a crime she committed nearly two years ago. Perhaps a moment of delirium overtook the divorcee when she decided to seek revenge on her ex-husband by breaking into his home and destroying high value items.  The original investigation was performed by The New York State Police BCI in Kingston.  The department was assisted by the New York State Police Forensic Investigation Unit, the New York State Intelligence Center, and the Town of Woodstock Police Department.

The fact that Rockman vandalized the most high priced items in the home may be the ultimate deciding factor in her case.  However, her decision to turn herself in was considered an act of altruism, which may save her from receiving the maximum sentence. This decision will be considered by the court.  The homeowner and victim, Rockman's ex-husband, may also choose to pursue civil action separately.  If he chooses to do so, charges in the civil matter may compensate for items not able to be restored through any restitution order issued.  Whether he will choose to do so is yet to be determined.
