PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. — Firefighters in Putnam County were scratching their heads after becoming the victim of a strange crime.
“It takes a special person to steal from someone who is there to help people when they’re in need,” said Asst. Chief Jarrod Summers with the Winfield Fire Department. Police said late Friday night 35-year-old Nichole Braham found an unlocked door and walked right into the Poca Fire Department. Medics on duty were heading out for a call when they found her.
“What you do in a situation like that? You walk out and there’s somebody with your clothes on, going through your partner’s stuff,” said Franklin Bragg, a Putnam County EMT and Poca volunteer firefighter. Police said Braham had dressed herself from head to toe in medic clothing. Police also said she went through the medics’ lockers, stole bedding, toiletries, and anything she could get her hands on.
