State employee arrested twice for prostitution crimes; Last night for prostituting a minor

3/6/08 (Updated 3/12/08) -- OKC, OK - A woman identified as a state of Oklahoma employee has been arrested twice in the last three weeks for prostitution related crimes - including child prostitution.

According to the Oklahoma County jail blotter, Caryn Janelle Mitchell, 28, (see photo left) was arrested February 19 on a complaint of aiding prostitution.

Reportedly, an undercover police officer contacted an escort service and requested an escort to be sent to the Value Place Inn on the North I-44 Service Rd.

The escort, identified as a Tykisha A. J., 29, was driven to the hotel by Mitchell.

Tykisha was arrested on a complaint of offering to engage in prostitution after she reportedly "agreed to provide specific sexual contact in exchange for $300."

Mitchell was arrested on a complaint of aiding prostitution.

According to the Oklahoma County Jail, Mitchell was rearrested last night and booked into the Oklahoma County jail on a complaint of transporting a minor to engage in an act of prostitution.

Mitchell has been released on a $2,500 bond.

Mitchell listed her employer as the State of Oklahoma Disability Determination Unit. An internet search shows the DDU is a division of Department of Rehabilitation Services (DRS).
