Authorities say that a Shreveport City Jail officer has been placed on administrative leave after being charged with shoplifting over the week-end.

According to a police report, Jiontanelle Owens was in uniform when she aledgedlly took several items from Village Mart in the 2500 block of Hollywood, said Sgt. Jim Taliaferro, police spokesman.“

She was seen on store video, by store employees,” Taliaferro said.

“After she left the store, they went to the area where the suspicious activities occurred and realized that there was specific clothing missing.”
Employees of the store notified police of the incident and after an investigation, Owens confessed to taking a warm-up suit valued at less than $200, which later was returned to the store. Owens, who was hired as a jailer in August 2007, was immediately placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation.

She was issued a summons ordering her to appear in court.
