Panyne was released in September when a DeKalb County Superior Court judge rescinded her probation.

“I think it was an appropriate resolution for this case,” Payne’s attorney, Marissa Goldberg, told NBC News.

“We can now move forward so that Ms. Payne can move past this and go forward with her life in a positive way.”

Walmart spokesman Charles Crowson declined to comment about Payne’s plea deal.
