You've probably seen the image all over the TV and on our blog. The woman with colorful sunglasses is shown on surveillance video using an ATM machine. Police say she was using someone else's ATM card at the SRP Credit Union on West Martintown Road in North Augusta.
Well, the woman was identified and arrested this week, according to Lt. Tim Pearson with North Augusta Public Safety. Her mugshot is pictured here along with the original surveillance image.
Vanessa M. Phillips, 25, of West Buena Vista Avenue, North Augusta, was located at her residence and placed under arrest on one count of credit card theft.
Based on her smile in the mugshot, Ms. Phillips apparently thought the whole thing was hilarious. Personally, we don't think stealing someone else's credit card and taking their money is funny at all. Can we get an 'Amen'?!
SHE THOUGHT IT WAS MESSED UP NOT FUNNY~ SO AMEN B***!! F*** YOU ALL!!! YOU ALL DO NOT KNOW HER! SHE DID NOT STEAL THE CARD, S-ONE LEFT IT IN THE ATM AND IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!!! SO DON'T JUDGE ANYONE.
ReplyDeleteSHE DID NOT STEAL THE CARD PEOPLE!! SOMEONE LEFT IT IN THEIR, IT WAS A MISTAKE~ S*** PEOPLE!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone makes mistakes this girl looks in shock to me so let her be thanks
ReplyDeleteYou really don't know the complete story. She also used the card all around town! That is stealin
ReplyDeleteWell if it was an accident, I guess she should pay the owner back. I suppose when she went to put her card in the atm machine and noticed it wouldnt go through she should have returned the other person's card to the bank and not used it to withdraw money and shop around town. I have never seen anyone smile so big in mugshot--she really looks shocked. A mistake was what the owner of the card did by forgetting it in the atm. An honest person would have not used that card at all.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah--an accident at the ATM & a restaurant & a convenient store--she used it in North Augusta and Aiken county so she should be expecting charges from the Aiken county sheriff's department on top of the North Augusta charges! When you make a conscious choice to steal, you should not be surprised or shocked when you are arrested! Another case of a stupid criminal - poor Vanessa --what about the victim?????????
ReplyDeleteWELL IF IT WAS A MISTAKE!! WHY SHE DIDN'T TAKE IT BACK TO THE BANK? YEAH RIGHT A MISTAKE!!! LIAR, LIAR YOUR PANTS ON FIRE!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it awesome how people attempt to defend themselves on their own story?
