NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCIV) — A Jonesboro, Georgia, woman has been arrested in connection with a phone scam in which a caller allegedly posed as a police officer and convinced a victim to send money for bail, according to the North Charleston Police Department.
Police said a woman reported on Dec. 4, 2025, that she had been scammed several days earlier. The victim told investigators that on Nov. 30, while she was at a pharmacy, she received a phone call from someone identifying himself as “Sgt. Daniels” with the Charleston County Detention Center.
The caller allegedly told the woman that her son was in jail for marijuana possession and requested $850 in bail money. Police said the victim, believing the call was legitimate, was instructed to send the money through Zelle to a purported bail bondsman in Greenville.
Investigators said the payment was made using a Georgia phone number associated with the name Kadrain Mitchell. Police said the woman later learned from her son that the call was fraudulent.
After what police described as a lengthy investigation, Mitchell, 35, surrendered to detectives at North Charleston City Hall on Monday.
She was charged with breach of trust and impersonating a police officer.

She be needing dat bail now.
This ain’t her first rodeo.
This is more serious than most think and I hope she bears the full force of the law.
“This ain’t her first rodeo.”
Is that expression prejudicial to horse people? Asking for a friend. 🫤

When the judge lets me go can I get the police uniform back?

Yep. That’s the look on her face.
Lol!
This ain’t her first barbecue.
“Ah was jes playin. Havin’ a little fun.
Why ever-body always so serious all the time?
Didn’t Robert Plant have to ask “Does anybody remember laughter?” Ah kno jus’ what he meant!!”
The Devil went down to Georgia
she was looking for some cash to steal...
She’s in the jailhouse now 🎶
Reparations.
Just about every week, the weekly paper in my small hometown (about 10,000) has an article or two of someone getting scammed or attempted scammed. A lot of times they fall for it, some of the most ridiculous stuff, too.
Them again..I’ll be damned.
“This ain’t her first rodeo.”
I bet she’s throwed plenty of people
Them. Avoid THEM.
I heard there’s a rampage of purple polka-dot scammers from Mars recently.
Honestly, the percentage supports Abraham Lincoln s claim separate but equal somewhat.
However, then Ya got the whole question of how the heck is that supposed to work.
It’s a fine line, such as a katana’s edge.
The percentage of Afro-American scammers that is.
