Repeat Shoplifter Faces Felony Charge in Stafford

Stafford, VA - A woman known for previous shoplifting incidents faced a felony charge for another attempt at a Walmart on Garrisonville Road. The sheriff's office responded to the incident on Friday at approximately 6:26 p.m.

Sergeant M.L. Jacobeen and Deputy S. Waheed were called to the Walmart for a suspected theft. The store staff reported that a female with prior offenses was involved. Deputy Waheed reviewed surveillance footage while Sergeant Jacobeen searched the vicinity.

Sergeant Jacobeen soon found a woman matching the suspect's description. The suspect initially denied any wrongdoing and falsely identified herself as the daughter of Hank Aaron. She was later correctly identified as Janice Scott, 61, of Stafford.

Scott had been previously involved in two shoplifting incidents in October. On this occasion, she was caught with stolen meat, cheese, and crackers. She now faces three counts of shoplifting, felony second offense identity theft, providing a false identity, and unlawful name change. She is being held at Rappahannock Regional Jail under a $2,000 secured bond.
