A woman who pretended to be an FBI agent on multiple occasions was arrested for commanding free food from workers at a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Georgia.

The woman, Kimberly George Ragsdale, is accused of going into a Chick-fil-A restaurant in Rockmart, Georgia, and telling workers that they would be detained if they didn't give her free food, Rockmart Police Chief Randy Turner told the Polk County Standard Journal. After Ragsdale attempted the ruse numerous times, Chick-fil-A workers called the police on Thursday, the newspaper reported.

When officers arrived at the scene to arrest her, she was in the restaurant's parking lot in a white van, according to a police report viewed by Insider.

When asked for identification, Ragsdale maintained her claim that she was an agent and told the officers she only had electronic credentials, according to the police report.

As she was being taken into custody, the report said, Ragsdale "began to talking into her shirt," pretending as though she was speaking into a hidden radio to tell someone she had been arrested.
