Boutique Owner Arrested 15 Times for Customer Scams
4 Apr
Summary
- A boutique owner was arrested 15 times since January 2026.
- She is accused of defrauding dozens of customers statewide.
- Customers paid for items but never received them or refunds.
Pamela Brooke Schronce, owner of Thomas & Turner Boutique, faces 15 arrests since January 1, 2026, across eight South Carolina counties. Authorities allege she took money from dozens of customers who never received their ordered products. The first complaint surfaced in December 2025, with a customer reporting non-receipt of a $360 order. Schronce faces charges including obtaining property under false pretenses, with alleged victim numbers reaching at least 54 in Anderson County alone.
The widespread nature of the accusations has created logistical challenges for law enforcement, requiring inter-jurisdictional coordination for her processing. Schronce was most recently arrested on April 2 in Greenville County. Her legal proceedings are in early stages, with prosecutors considering involving the South Carolina Attorney General's Office.
Customers reported issues ranging from non-delivery to issues with refunds, with some transactions occurring between July 2024 and December 2025. One customer, Hannah Mason, noted that while initial orders were fulfilled, later ones from May and June 2025 were never received. Schronce's attorney stated that the case is early and her client looks forward to her court date.
