His wife reported to police that the incident happened on last week Wednesday at the judge's Belize City house. She told police at around 8 p.m., she heard a noise outside, and that's when she spotted Cadle, who had been living there for the past 5 years. She and Austin Lucas, Justice Lucas' son were having a domestic dispute, and sometime during the altercation, she allegedly damaged the vehicle.

Police investigated the report, and charged Cadle with damage to property. She was arraigned before Senior Magistrate Sharon Frazer, and she pleaded not guilty to the offence. Her mother told the court that Cadle has a mental problem, and she doesn't always take her medication. On her own behalf, she told the court that the family was ignoring a very urgent persona situation and sending her out on errands. She said that this made her angry, and she and Austin Lucas got into a fight.
