Woman allegedly stole steak, fondled strangers, flashed genitals and entered home to play cards

A woman from Spartanburg, South Carolina, faces several charges following an unusual crime spree on Tuesday in which police say she stole steak, fondled store customers, exposed herself, and locked herself and two women in an apartment to play cards while police searched for her. Annetta Pabellon Brewton, 46, has been charged with kidnapping, burglary, indecent exposure and other offences.

At about 10:00am a Spartanburg police officer responded to a shoplifting at a Save A Lot store. A store employee told the officer that a woman took several packages of steak and hid them under her shirt before leaving the store. The employee stated that several customers told him the woman’s name. The officer compiled a photo lineup including Brewton’s photo and she was positively identified by the employee. Police say Brewton then caused a disturbance a couple of hours later.



At around 12:15pm, an officer responded to a disturbance at a store in the same strip mall where a witness complained that Brewton came into his store and began fondling customers and asking them for money. The man claimed Brewton pulled down her pants, revealing her genitals, and made “vulgar slurs.” The man said Brewton left when he grabbed a phone to call police. Officers searched for Brewton who was later found inside an apartment sitting on a toilet, cursing and asking the police to leave.

Brewton refused to stand up and pull up her pants, but was eventually handcuffed and led from the apartment. Two women in the apartment told police that Brewton opened the front door to the apartment, sat on a couch and insisted they play cards. After she was asked to leave, Brewton locked the door and told them they were not going anywhere and to stay inside because the police were outside. Brewton remains jailed at the Spartanburg County Detention Center.

She must have been vacationing from her home in Florida.

Reasonable assumption.
