The prosecution said she stole a Samsung Galaxy tab, 31 Digicel $100 call cards, a Compaq computer and $21,000 among other things.

"I just need some time to pay back the money. I took the items and I am asking friends to help me pay for it. I am a foster child, I don't have any parents. I don't know who my parents are," Brown explained.

Senior Resident Magistrate Judith Pusey ordered Brown to return on her next court date ready to make restitution.
