Agents say they were told that Mitchell was selling drugs while working as a Warwick police officer. Warwick is a small town about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northeast of Albany. Agents say they bought marijuana from Mitchell at locations in Worth and Lee counties.
Mitchell was arrested at the Warwick police department. Agents say they found marijuana, scales and plastic bags in the vehicle Mitchell was driving.
Mitchell is charged with two counts of distributing marijuana, one count of possession with intent to distribute marijuana, four counts of possessing a gun while committing a felony, three counts of violating his oath of office and two counts of using a communication device while committing a felony.
He remained jailed Friday in Lee County after a judge denied Mitchell bail. A Worth County jail official said she didn’t know if Mitchell had a lawyer to speak for him.
