A 28-year-old police officer in Oklahoma and his 24-year-old wife are accused of exploiting an 82-year-old man, allegedly moving into his home and using his money to fund trips, buy concert tickets and pay for other personal expenses.
Andrew McVicker and Abbigale McVicker were arrested and charged with exploitation of an elderly person and conspiracy, authorities announced.
According to a press release from the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation (OSBI), the investigation began in March 2026, when the Oklahoma Department of Human Services Adult Protective Services received information about possible exploitation of the elderly man in Alva.
Oklahoma Department of Human Services (DHS) investigators learned that the McVickers had moved into the man's home in 2023. Andrew McVicker was added to the man's bank accounts and made his power of attorney, officials said.
The investigation was later turned over to the Woods County District Attorney's Office, which asked the OSBI to take over in June.
OSBI agents determined that McVicker withdrew approximately $15,900 from the victim's bank accounts between April 2025 and May 2026. They also found more than $25,000 in transfers made through the Cash App from McVicker to his wife between January 2024 and March 2026.
Those transfers were made "without the victim's knowledge or consent," according to the OSBI. Investigators estimated the total financial exploitation of the victim at more than $74,000.
The investigation uncovered evidence that the alleged spending went well beyond ordinary household expenses.
Oklahoma City NBC affiliate KOCO reported that credit card records showed purchases involving restaurants, online retailers, salons, movie theaters, antique auctions, a cruise, trips to Mexico and concert tickets. One of the concert purchases was for a show in Salt Lake City. Abbigale McVicker posted about the concert on TikTok.
Investigators also found a deed that would have transferred ownership of the elderly man's home to McVicker after his death, the station reported.
Authorities described the elderly victim as a vulnerable adult who was "barely able to walk and did not appear to be taking care of his hygiene," KOCO reported, citing court documents.
During an interview, the man was unable to tell investigators whether he had given the couple permission to use his credit card for the purchases.
Arrest warrants for both McVickers were issued Aug. 28 by the Woods County District Court. The following day, they were taken into custody in Enid, Oklahoma, by the Enid Police Department, according to the OSBI.
While Andrew McVicker remains employed by the Alva Police Department, he was placed on administrative leave "pending the outcome of the investigation," the OSBI said.
The city of Alva said it was aware of the allegations and would cooperate with the investigation.
"While the City of Alva does not comment on personnel matters, nor matters of ongoing investigations, administration and staff have taken immediate and appropriate action based on the limited information provided," the city said in a statement. "We understand the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation is conducting an investigation; the City of Alva has and will cooperate fully with said investigation."
The McVickers were released after posting bond of $20,000 each, records show. They are scheduled to appear in court on Oct. 13.
