A Jonesboro woman is accused of impersonating a police officer in a phone scheme.


According to the North Charleston Police Department in South Carolina, the victim reported the scheme on Dec. 4, 2025, several days after receiving a suspicious call.

The woman told police that on Nov. 30, she was at a pharmacy when a caller identifying himself as  Sgt. Daniels  with the Charleston County Detention Center contacted her.

The caller allegedly claimed her son had been arrested for marijuana possession and demanded $850 in bail money.


Believing the call was legitimate, the victim sent the money through Zelle to someone presented as a bail bondsman in Greenville. Police said the payment was made using a Georgia phone number associated with Kadrain Mitchell, 35, of Jonesboro.

The victim later learned from her son that the call was fake.

After a lengthy investigation, Mitchell, 35, surrendered to police at North Charleston City Hall on Oct. 19, according to police.

She was charged with breach of trust and impersonating a police officer.
