A former Disney star has been arrested for vandalizing an Israel-based defense electronics company New Hampshire offices on Monday.
Bridget Shergalis, 27, is charged with misdemeanor assault for her part in destroying a building housing Haifa-based defense contractor Elbit Systems in Merrimack, New Hampshire, according to local reports.
Protesters were seen blocking the driveway to the offices as they chanted support for Palestine.
The building was also splashed with red paint and smoke could be seen coming from the roof.
Shergalis, of Dayville, Connecticut, was arrested along with two other protesters from the anti-Israel group Palestine Action US.

Shergalis appeared in the 2011 Disney sketch comedy series ‘So Random!’ along with films and television shows including “Bad Teacher,” “All About Steve” and “Criminal Minds.”
Inside, building authorities found broken skylights and damaged HVAC equipment, NBC reported.
An incendiary device similar to the one used to produce the smoke seen on the roof was also discovered on one of the suspects, the New York Post reported.
Shergalis was accompanied by 19-year-old Calla Walsh, a self-described “communist,” a left-wing activist who has campaigned for politicians such as Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Walsh and Shergalis, along with a third protester, Sophie Marika Ross, 22, of Housatonic, Massachusetts, face a series of misdemeanor charges, including rioting, tampering and attempted burglary, along with one misdemeanor charge each, Patch said.
After posting the $20,000 bond, Walsh wrote on

‘This is outright violence. It’s crime. It is a malicious attack on property and people,” Jonah Steinberg, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League of New England, told The New York Post.
“In these times of Hamas terrorism against Israel, it is extremely worrying when Hamas sets an example for people who consider themselves activists on this side of the sea.”
“This is what happens when limo liberals who grow up with a silver spoon in their mouth rely on TikTok trends instead of having facts about situations,” Garrett Ventry, a Republican strategist, told The Post.
“The continuation of the false equivalence between Israel and Palestine only shows a lack of understanding of history and morality,” he added.
