FLORIDA WOMAN ARRESTED AFTER ALLEGEDLY BREAKING INTO AN APPLEBEE'S AFTER HOURS TO USE THE FRYER OCALA, FL — Authorities arrested Brittney Sue Halverson, 34, on Sunday at 2:47 a.m. after she allegedly pried open the back kitchen door of a closed Applebee's on Silver Springs Boulevard and fired up the deep fryer to cook a personal grocery haul she brought from home. Witnesses say Halverson, wearing pajama shorts, fuzzy slipper boots, and a robe over a Tampa Bay Buccaneers jersey, set up what one responding officer described as "a one-woman late-night station like she was scheduled to close." According to the police report: - Halverson brought a Publix bag containing six frozen mozzarella sticks, a bag of TGI Friday's potato skins, a single uncooked chicken thigh, and one Hot Pocket she had already opened - She had reportedly already changed the fryer oil, restocked the basket caddy, and lit a Bath and Body Works "Vanilla Bean Noel" candle on the prep line - A neighbor across the parking lot, identified only as Miss Carla 🍷, recorded Halverson through the kitchen window while saying "she even put the apron on, the FULL apron" - Officers found a handwritten ticket on the pass that read "table 14, mozz sticks well done, ranch on side, no judgment" - Halverson allegedly told officers she "didn't break in, the door was kinda open if you really tried it" and asked if she could finish the chicken thigh first Sergeant Wade Renfroe, a 26-year veteran of the Marion County Sheriff's Office, addressed reporters at the scene. "In twenty-six years I have responded to break-ins for cash, jewelry, electronics, and one time a riding lawn mower. This is the first one where the suspect was halfway through plating. I am going home." She came in with a Publix bag and the energy of a closing shift. She left in cuffs with the fryer still hot and the mozzarella sticks still floating.
