Texas security guard at Kroger accused of racially profiling

A Kroger security guard lost their job after three Texas women, on different instances, were allegedly racially profiled by him. All three incidents was captured on video, showing how the women were discriminated against them. Shelondra Peavy, Stephanie Teel, and Teel’s cousin Kamesha Sterling allege that a security guard hired by Allied Universal Security but working at a local Kroger store violated the women.

According to Fox 26 Houston, on June 21 at the Kroger Antoine Town Center she was having issues shopping when the guard accused her of shoplifting.

“She [Peavy] says she couldn’t carry any more in her hands, so she dropped some of her items in a clear Kroger produce bag and continued shopping,” Fox 26 said. “That’s when she says the Allied Universal Security guard seen in the video accused her of stealing.”

“During their encounter, the guard can be heard admitting that he called her ‘Black and ugly,’” it added.

Peavy heard asking the guard on the video, “You just said I’m Black, and I’m ugly.”

The report says this is similar to what happened to Stephanie Teel, a woman with special needs on April 13 with the same guard.

“Stephanie was with her cousin, Kamesha Sterling, when she opened a Kroger burger inside the store and started eating it,” the report said. “Sterling says she had every intention of paying for it when they got to the register. But the security guard approached them, an altercation ensued, and eventually, he pepper-sprayed and dragged Stephanie from the store.”

During the incident, Sterling started to record, documenting how the guard appeared to drag Teel out of the store before the two women were pushed out of the building. Teal could be heard on the video asking the guard, “Why are you doing this to me?”

Sterling is yelling saying, “He’s like, ‘She’s stealing!’ I say, ‘She’s not stealing. I have a basket full of groceries, I’m paying for everything.’”
