The last thing you need when stranded in a parking lot at night, while waiting for AAA roadside assistance, is someone to harass and threaten you, while also spewing racist stuff.
It happened to 2 sisters last month, in Charlotte, N.C., outside the Camden Fairview Apartments in SouthPark. A woman later identified as Susan Westwood, whom the Internet eventually dubbed “South Park Susan,” kept picking on them for being in a place where they didn’t belong. She was drunk, by the way.
Westwood saw the two sisters waiting outside their car, which had broken down. She charged at them, directly asking them what they were doing in this part of town. She accused them of being up to some sort of mischief and constantly told them “I’m white, I’m beautiful,” before she started making actual threats of pulling out her concealed weapon.
The sisters eventually called 911 because they became too afraid – and they clearly had no way of getting out, since their car was broken. Still, they filmed the entire incident on their phone and posted all the videos to their social media.
By the time the police arrived, the woman had left. However, she also called 911, to report that several African-American people were trying to break into the apartments in the complex.
As of this weekend, the Sunset Beach Police Department was still unable to locate the woman whose whiteness and beauty wouldn’t let the 2 motorists wait in peace for AAA. She turned herself in, as news that the videos had gone viral must have reached her, NBC News affiliate WNBC reports.
“She was transferred to the Brunswick County Sheriff's Department, where she was served with an outstanding misdemeanor warrant for misuse of the 911 system, in addition to four criminal summonses,” the report says.
Westwood has also been fired from her job at Charter Communications and evicted from the apartment complex outside of which she showed her true, racist colors.
