Ohio state corrections officer arrested twice for shoplifting at same Walmart
BOARDMAN, Ohio March 28 2019 A corrections officer, charged with stealing from the Walmart in Boardman in 2017, now faces another shoplifting charge.
Juliana Stefek, 44, was charged with stealing from the same store on Saturday.
According to a police report, Stefek selected several items — including a jar of American Crew Heavy Hold Pomade — concealed the merchandise under her purse and went through the check-out.
Police said Stefek paid for everything but the pomade.
Police said when she was stopped by security, Stefek said, “This time it was a mistake, not like last time.”
Stefek’s 2017 theft case was dismissed, according to court records.
According to the police report, Stefek is still employed at the Ohio State Penitentiary.
Thomas Horton, a correctional warden assistant at the prison, said Stefek has been placed on administrative leave pending an internal investigation.
Horton said Stefek was removed in 2017 after the previously shoplifting charge but was able to win her job back through a grievance settlement.
