A Bryan woman is in jail for the 36th time. 52-year-old Kesha Latrice Jenkins was arrested Friday after shoplifting at the West Bryan Walmart.
Police were called to the store in the 600 block of North Harvey Mitchell Parkway around noon, after receiving a call of a theft in progress. The store’s asset protection team said a woman on a motorized scooter was placing items into a handbag.
Officers spotted Jenkins on the scooter in the store’s parking lot. When she spotted the officer, she got off the scooter and began running towards a vehicle. She was apprehended while trying to enter that vehicle.
It was revealed that Jenkins tried to steal dish soap, trash bags, a Zevo insect killer, body lotion, perfume, Fabuloso, and several clothing items valued at $145.02.
Jenkins also had an active criminal trespass warning for the store at the time.
She was arrested for criminal trespass, evading arrest, and theft of property less than $2,500 with two or more previous convictions.
According to the arrest records, Jenkins has seven previous convictions for theft, most recently in December 2024. She remains jailed on 18,000 bond.
