‘South Park Susan’ Turns Herself In After Racist Rant At Black Sisters

A North Carolina woman, whose racist remarks to two black women who were having car trouble in a parking lot were caught in a viral video, turned herself in to police Saturday, reports said.

Susan Westwood, 51, voluntarily turned herself in with the Sunset Beach Police Department. She was transferred to the Brunswick County Sheriff's Department where she was subsequently served an outstanding misdemeanor warrant and four criminal summonses. According to reports, her bond was set at $500.

Authorities issued a warrant for Westwood on Wednesday and released two recordings of calls she made to 911 on Oct. 19 when the incident happened. She misused the emergency line system when she tried to report sisters Leia and Mary Garris, they said.

Westwood was caught on video berating the sisters as they were waiting for AAA in an apartment complex parking lot for the Camden Fairview Apartments in Charlotte, North Carolina. She didn’t recognize the sisters and asked them where they lived.

“I’m white and I’m hot. So what are you doing here?” Westwood said to the sisters in as seen in the viral video. “I’m still going to make $125,000 Monday morning. Who are you, do you live here?”

“Do I need to bring out my concealed weapon too?” Westwood said at one point. She goes on to call 911 and falsely claim the women were trying to break into residences, Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department said.

"Folks that are trying to break into apartments, they’re actually people that I’ve never see here before but they are African-American," Westwood said, according to a report in ABC News. "They’re trying to cause a problem.”

She also said she would pay the officer “$2,500 to get them out of here. ... Just get them the f--- out of here right now."

The sisters recorded the confrontation and proceeded to report the incident. After the video became viral, Westwood was dubbed "South Park Susan." It wasn't immediately clear how the name came to be.

“The lady was pushing me in my face, and I’m a resident here just like she is. It surprised me, I’ve been living here for over a year and I’ve never been treated this way,” one of the sisters can be heard in the 911 recording of their call. Police soon arrived at the scene but could not find Westwood there.

“She assaulted us both. So there should be charges,” Mary Garris said Saturday. “We want to bring justice. We want to bring awareness to the community. People are being judged for the color of their skin. … It’s been an eye-opener. This happened only because we were standing out and waiting for AAA. This is alarming and upsetting.”

Westwood used to work at Charter Communications but was fired following the incident, a report in Fox News said. “The incident recorded in Charlotte is a blatant violation of Charter’s code of conduct and clearly disregards the company’s commitment to inclusion and respectful behavior," Scott Pryzwanky, a company spokesperson, said. "As such, Ms. Westwood’s employment with the company has been terminated, effective immediately.”
