On May 1, Deputy Dylan Carder was dispatched to Lowe Drive for a woman who was trespassing. A man said Andrea Cape was forbidden to be on the property and she had entered the shop building without permission. According to court documents, Cape was allowed to remove her personal belongings from the property 30 days after a property division was paid in full, and she could have selected two weekends to remove said belongings. Video footage showed Cape enter the building and then exit with different bags. Carder was pulling up to Cape's camper, which was east of the property, and the woman reportedly ran inside the trailer as she spotted the deputy. Cape refused to exit the camper and said she would only talk to a Cherokee Nation Marshal deputy since she was tribal. The deputy arrived and determined that Cape was forbidden from the property per the court documents. Cape allegedly argued with deputies and said her attorney told her it was OK to be there per documents that were filed in August 2021. Carder advised that ruling was no longer in effect due to new documents that were filed in February 2024. Cape was transported to jail and booked for trespassing and breaking and entering a dwelling.
