A man walked into a hospital emergency room to check on his father. He left in handcuffs, charged with two crimes.

On October 17, 2024, Cherokee Indian Police placed Michael Zapeda under an involuntary commitment after statements he made at Harrah's Cherokee Casino. When his son Travis came to the hospital and argued that his father hadn't made any threats, Officer Joshua Taylor and Sergeant Cody Owle took Travis to the floor and arrested him for disorderly conduct and resisting.

The police report claimed that Travis's statement about giving someone $2,000 was bond money set aside to bail himself out after assaulting an officer. The charges against Travis were dismissed.
