Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

In Lake Charles, LA single family home. My dilemma: My tenants(not married) signed a 12-month lease in August. By November the female moved out for a job opportunity in a different state. By December they were broke up and she wanted off the lease. Through research I did on BP forums I concluded it is smarter to keep her on even though the remaining tenant was paying everything without problems. It is a binding contract and it is better to have the two of them liable in case something happens to the property. Fast forward to last night...  "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned." LOL She came back into town to visit family and apparently drove by her ex-boyfriend's house. My property! She noticed he had company of the opposite sex visiting and decided to let herself in at 11 at night. Long story short the police were called and she was asked to leave. I received a phone call from her again today asking to be removed from the lease stating that she is willing to forfeit her portion of the deposit. Does anyone on this thread have any advice on such a situation? Legally isn't she entitled to entry of the property if she is on the lease? Should I just let her off the lease like she is requesting and save myself the drama? If so, what is the best way to go about doing it? Thanks in advance.
