A recent post on the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department’s (BCSO) Facebook page has stirred up some serious cop drama in the South Carolina Lowcountry. According to the post, the law enforcement agency is seeking information on an Amazon delivery driver spotted on camera allegedly stealing a package after making her deliveries.
Inside the package? A Ninja slush machine…
BCSO’s post accused the ‘porch pirate’ of striking last Tuesday (December 10, 2024) at the Isaac Apartments in Nexton, South Carolina. The department identified the suspect as Tachina Zaira Lataile Frazier of Charleston, and superimposed a recent mug shot of the suspect into a ‘Grinch’ line-up.
Not surprisingly, news of the great Grinch slush heist quickly went viral.
But not nearly as viral as the suspect’s response…

Frazier posted a screenshot of a previous BCSO post with her arrest record including mugshots on her page. According to Frazier, at least one of the arrests BCSO posted occurred when she was a minor – and had been expunged.
A search of charges in the Charleston County public index turned up a second degree domestic violence charge against Frazier – a charge which was dismissed by the local solicitor.
Nonetheless, BSCO’s Facebook administrator doubled down and reposted Frazier’s comments – another missive which appears to have been scrubbed from the agency’s social media.

On her Facebook page, Frazier (also known as Trina) made it clear she wasn’t hiding from the police. She then proceeded to add some interesting context to the stolen slush machine saga.
According to Frazier, BCSO corporal Devonte Carr sent her multiple messages on Facebook referring to her as a “fine ass” and asking her if she was single.
“Bruh you pretty as fuck,” he wrote in one message dated March 4, 2024, according to screen caps posted to Facebook by Frazier.
On March 8, 2024, Carr followed up with, “you my gf (girlfriend) in my head and that’s what I’m telling everybody”.
Two weeks later, Carr referred to Frazier as the “finest damn delivery driver I done seen.”
Going straight for the jugular, Frazier addressed her posts to corporal Carr’s wife – fellow BCSO corporal Carli Carr.
“You must (have) gone through that phone!” Frazier wrote to Carli Carr. “You think I wasn’t gone find out you behind that (BCSO Facebook) page boo!”
“I’m not justifying what I did but no wonder you going so hard behind a fucking slushie!” Frazier added.

As Frazier’s post began making the rounds on Facebook, comments on BCSO’s original post lit up. While many were appalled by the apparent brazenness of the slush machine theft, others noted the timing of the post now seemed questionable.
“So did they find this out before or after Devonte Carr was in her inbox?!” one commenter wondered.
“We found the truth this is cyber bullying!!!” another wrote.
When asked for comment, BCSO chief deputy Jeremy Baker assured FITSNews at the time the Facebook post was made, there was no known connection between Frazier and corporal Carli Carr.
“There’s much ado being made about that,” he said. “There’s no retribution or anything like that.”
Baker also noted that he made the decision to delete the post with Frazier’s expunged charges until all the information could be verified.
“I thought that was the prudent thing to do,” he said.

Lord have mercy! Carli on OP live with her husband Devonta?
Well I guess they won’t be on this week!???? She was even in NY (I believe) at the desk with the guys. ????That was crazy!
What the heck??? Carlie seems like an up and up person on OP Live. Maybe she needs to kick Devonte to the curb and get lots of alimony!
