Nationwide — Police officer Andrew McVicker and his wife, Abbigale McVicker, who are from Alva, Oklahoma, have been arrested over allegations that they exploited an 82-year-old man and took more than $74,000 from him. The couple faces charges of exploiting an elderly person and conspiracy after an investigation found evidence of unauthorized withdrawals, transfers, and purchases involving the vulnerable adult.
The investigation began in March after the Oklahoma Department of Human Services Adult Protective Services received a report about possible financial exploitation. Investigators learned that the couple had moved into the elderly man’s home in 2023. McVicker was later added to the man’s bank accounts and appointed as his power of attorney, giving him access to the man’s finances.
According to WLBT, the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation said McVicker withdrew nearly $15,900 from the man’s bank accounts between April 2025 and May 2026. Investigators also found more than $25,000 in Cash App transfers sent from McVicker to his wife between January 2024 and March. Authorities said the transfers were made “without the victim’s knowledge or consent.” The investigation ultimately put the alleged financial loss at more than $74,000.
Investigators also reviewed the man’s credit card records and found spending that allegedly went far beyond ordinary household expenses. The purchases included restaurants, online retailers, salons and movie theaters, along with antique auctions, concert tickets, a cruise and trips to Mexico. Authorities also found a deed that would have transferred ownership of the man’s home to McVicker after his death.
Officials described the man as a vulnerable adult who was barely able to walk and appeared to have difficulty maintaining his personal hygiene. During an interview, he could not tell investigators whether he had given the couple permission to use his credit card for the purchases. Investigators ultimately estimated that more than $74,000 had been taken or spent as part of the alleged exploitation.
McVicker remains employed by the Alva Police Department but has been placed on administrative leave while the investigation continues. The city of Alva said it was aware of the allegations and would cooperate with authorities. Both suspects were released after posting $20,000 bonds each and are scheduled to appear in court on October 13. The charges are allegations, and the case remains pending.
