Firing Squad at 5 AM

In the early morning hours of December 13th, 2022, officers from the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department obtained a search warrant for a residence in Bear Paw after a disturbance call made to 911 dispatch hours earlier.

In addition to obtaining the search warrant, officers from the Cherokee County Sheriff's Department also requested assistance from the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians' SWAT team and a siege of the residence at 1790 Upper Bear Paw Road was conducted.

Just before 5 AM that morning, SWAT officers tossed a robot equipped with cameras into the residence and awoke the sleeping couple.
