South Carolina Baby Boutique Owner Arrested for 16th Time on Scam Charges
Pamela Brooke Schronce, the owner of a baby boutique in Belton, South Carolina, has been arrested for the 16th time on charges of scamming customers. Schronce, who runs Thomas and Turner, is accused of taking over $485 from two online customers without delivering the purchased items or issuing refunds. The Oconee County Sheriff’s Office reported that Schronce has been involved in similar fraudulent activities since January, with charges including obtaining a signature or property under false pretenses. Her boutique, which marketed itself as a seller of 'custom-designed pieces' for children, is now closed. Schronce was released from the Oconee County Detention Center on a $4,250 personal recognizance bond.
