Firefighter In Uniform Arrested At Walmart

Jane Draycott Accused Of Trying To Steal DVD Player

HOUSTON -- A female Houston firefighter who accused co-workers of harassment was arrested Monday night in Spring.

Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables said Ena Jane Draycott was arrested on suspicion of shoplifting at a Walmart in the 21100 block of Kuykendahl Road at 9:30 p.m.
Court documents said Draycott tried to steal a DVD player.

Detectives said Draycott was at the checkout counter and left the line to go to the ice machine. She then walked toward the door with unpaid items and was stopped by loss prevention officials, investigators said.

Draycott was in uniform at the time of her arrest, officials said. She was charged with misdemeanor theft between $50 and $500.
She has bonded out of jail.

Last year, Draycott said she and another female firefighter at Station 54 at George Bush Intercontinental Airport were the targets of racist and sexist graffiti found scrawled on their lockers.
The city conducted an investigation into the graffiti, but it was inconclusive.
