Surveillance video & mug shot of woman accused in wild Guilford County crime spree

Jennifer Nicole Brown is accused of breaking into two homes, stealing two cars and shooting a man after robbing a gas station and several other crimes, deputies say.

GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — A woman was arrested Monday after stealing two cars, breaking into two homes, stealing a gun, car keys, shooting a man and robbing a gas station, according to the Guilford County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies got reports of a suspicious woman at the Citgo gas station on Groometown Road/I-85. 

Deputies said Jennifer Nicole Brown, 34, left the gas station and broke into a home and stole a gun, keys and a vehicle. 

She then drove to a different Citgo on Alamance Church Road/I-85 and held up store employees with the stolen gun. She got away with a couple packs of cigarettes before the gas station clerks called for help, deputies said.

From there, Brown broke into another home across the street from the gas station and stole another set of car keys. 

But before she could get away in yet another stolen getaway car, the homeowner started chasing her.

That's when Brown shot him in the abdomen. He suffered a non-life-threatening injury, deputies said. 

Brown was trying to leave the home when she was confronted in the road by deputies who took her into custody.

She is charged with a long list of crimes, including:

  • Assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury
  • Robbery with a deadly weapon
  • 2 counts of first-degree burglary
  • Felony larceny after breaking and entering
  • Felony larceny of a firearm

  • Felony possession of a motor vehicle
  • Assault by gunpoint
  • Assault on a government official
  • Injury to personal property
  • Misdemeanor larceny
  • 2 counts of resist, delay and obstruction

Brown was also served warrants out of Forsyth County for crimes committed around 4:45 p.m. the same day. Guilford County deputies later discovered Brown got to Greensboro in a car she stole in Winston-Salem. The charges are:

  • Felony flee to elude
  • Reckless drinking
  • Driving while license revoked
  • Exceeding posted speed
