A South Carolina woman who runs a baby clothing boutique has been arrested 15 times since the start of 2026, with authorities across the state accusing her of taking money from dozens of customers who never received the products they ordered.
Pamela Brooke Schronce, of Anderson County, owns Thomas & Turner Boutique in Belton. The business is marketed as a “boutique for trendy little babies” offering “custom designed pieces,” according to its Instagram page. But law enforcement agencies in at least eight South Carolina counties say customers paid for items online and never received them — or their money back.

Inside Pamela Schronce’s Growing List of Charges
Schronce was most recently arrested on April 2 when she was booked in Greenville County on five counts of obtaining property valued at $2,000 or less under false pretenses, according to court and jail records viewed by Us. It marked the 15th time she has been arrested — and the 15th time she has had her mugshot taken — since January 1, WHNS reported.
Following that arrest, Schronce bonded out of the Greenville County Detention Center and was released, records show. Her bond had been set at $5,000.
The allegations first surfaced in December 2025, when a customer reported ordering $360 worth of items from Schronce’s boutique website but never receiving the products, Cherokee County Sheriff Steve Mueller confirmed to Us.
“The victim just like all the others tried repeatedly to get an answer from [the] suspect but eventually was blocked and they would not respond,” Mueller said.
That report led to an arrest warrant secured on February 17, and Schronce’s booking at the Cherokee County Detention Center on February 23. By then, she had already been arrested multiple times. Schronce was first arrested on January 1 and again on January 7. More arrests followed on February 5, 9, 11, 13, 19, 20, 23 and 25, Us previously reported.
Her 13th arrest occurred on March 2 in Newberry County, where she was charged with six counts of obtaining goods under false pretenses with a value of $2,000 or less, the Newberry County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release. She was issued a $3,000 bond. On March 19, Schronce turned herself in to authorities in Pendleton for her 14th arrest, according to Pendleton’s Interim Police Chief David Poulson. Police there had obtained four arrest warrants after a resident reported placing four orders at Schronce’s boutique that never arrived and for which no refund was granted.
Deputies ‘Waited in Line’ to Arrest Pamela Schronce Across 8 Counties
The sheer volume of charges against Schronce has created an unusual logistical challenge for law enforcement agencies across South Carolina. With arrests piling up in eight counties since January 1, multiple jurisdictions have had to coordinate to book and process the same suspect on their warrants. The Newberry County Sheriff’s Office noted that Schronce is the subject of numerous cases spanning several jurisdictions originating out of Anderson County.
Cherokee County Sheriff Steve Mueller described what it was like coordinating with all the other agencies seeking to book Schronce.
“Investigators were able to secure an arrest warrant on February 17, 2026, and we waited in line with all the other agencies to get her booked in at the Cherokee County Detention Center,” Mueller said.
Since January 1, Schronce has been arrested in eight South Carolina counties, WIS reported.
There Are More Than 50 Alleged Victims of Pamela Schronce’s Boutique in 1 County
The scope of the alleged scam extends well beyond a handful of unhappy customers, with law enforcement agencies across South Carolina detailing accusations against Schronce that reach dozens of people in multiple counties. The numbers from Anderson County provide a particularly striking look at how widespread the allegations have become. In a February 9 Facebook post, the Anderson County Sheriff’s Office announced that Schronce is accused of scamming more than 50 people who live in that county alone.
“According to investigators, Schronce scammed at least 54 victims who placed online orders but never received their merchandise,” the sheriff’s office wrote. “Detectives say she repeatedly provided fabricated excuses to explain the missing deliveries.”
Schronce was also arrested in Abbeville County, where nine customers reported she had allegedly scammed them out of products they purchased or sought refunds for, WYFF News 4 reported. Those customers bought items from Schronce’s boutique between July 2024 and December 2025, according to the TV station.
A woman named Hannah Mason previously spoke with WYFF News 4 and said she was one of the customers allegedly scammed by Schronce in Anderson County.
“I asked her multiple times. ‘Brooke, just give me my money. Just give me my money. You won’t hear from me again,’” Mason said.
Mason also said she bought items from Schronce’s boutique beginning in 2023 and initially had not experienced issues receiving her products. However, she never received items she ordered in May and June of 2025.
“I feel like those of us who have been wrongly taken advantage of are finally seeing some sort of justice come to fruition,” Mason added.
Pamela Schronce’s Attorney Responds as Investigations Continue
The legal proceedings against Schronce remain in their early stages despite the growing number of arrests. Court records for several of her criminal cases list her defense attorney as Joy C. Davis, who provided an emailed statement to Us on March 3 addressing the mounting accusations against her client. Local prosecutors have called on the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office to take control of the case, with the attorney general’s office previously saying it was working on how to “determine the best path forward.”
“This case is still in the very early stages,” Davis said.
“I can tell you that Ms. Schronce is really looking forward to her day in court,” Davis added.
Davis added that she was waiting for discovery from the various law enforcement agencies and prosecutors’ offices.
