Andy Kahan, director of victim services and advocacy for Crime Stoppers of Houston, said there needs to be more consequences for habitual offenders like Rogers.
"You have to have consequences for habitual thieves," Kahan said, according to FOX 26. "It's not happening in Rogers' case."
"While on parole, she picks up four felony theft charges. Same thing, stealing beauty products," he added.
In September 2025 alone, Rogers was charged four separate times with theft, involving at the HEB grocery store and a Sephora store.
