Press Release:

   On Wednesday, Washington
Brandon Michael Mizell
Police arrested Brandon Michael Mizell, age 21, of Archibald Road Washington. Mizell was charged with obtaining property by false pretences from Wake County as well as possessing more than 5 counterfeit instruments and two counts of obtaining property by false pretences in Washington. Detectives are also working with NC DMV License and Theft Division, Randolph County Sheriff’s Office, Wake County Sheriff’s Office, Greenville PD and New Bern PD on cases stemming from the investigation. Contact has been made with the U.S. Secret Service for additional assistance. Detectives have recovered two stolen vehicles and anticipate the recovery of additional vehicles and property. Mizell was placed in Beaufort County Detention Center with a $30,000 bond pending appearances. More charges and arrests are expected as the investigation continues. Photo of Mizell is attached.

   Washington Police still encourages all businesses to increase their awareness of counterfeit currency. Citizens as well as businesses need to continue to check bills for safety features like a visible watermark picture, micro printing, color shifting ink and other details used to suppress counterfeiting. Businesses should also continue to use counterfeit detection pens which will help identify counterfeit currency most but not all the time. If anyone believes they have received some counterfeit currency please report it to your local law enforcement agency and do not attempt to pass it on. Such action could result in that person becoming a suspect in a case and causing more confusion for investigators in determining who are victims rather than suspects.
