Man’s ex-girlfriend accused of stealing his present’s companion’s automotive and slamming it into his dwelling

An Oklahoma woman has been arrested after allegedly stealing a car belonging to her ex-boyfriend’s partner and slamming it into his home, police say.

Officers went to an address in Tulsa at 5.39 am on March 15, 2026, after receiving a “trouble unknown” call.

Once there, they found that a vehicle had been ploughed “directly through the front of the residence,” according to a statement from the Tulsa Police Department.

Authorities allege that Annabel Torres, 24, had arrived at her ex-boyfriend’s home while his current girlfriend was visiting. The unnamed girlfriend was there with her two children.

After the suspect appeared at the home, authorities allege that she was acting “erratically” before stealing the car.

In the statement, officers said that they overheard Torres claiming that she intended to “drive over anyone there.”

While being taken into custody, Torres “fought with the officers a little bit,” according to the TPD.

During the incident, two other stationary vehicles had been hit by the stolen car.

The TPD released a series of images from the crime scene, depicting a gaping hole in the house’s exterior with the back of a red vehicle jutting out of the shattered wall.

In another image, the front half of the red vehicle can be seen protruding into a room inside the house. Small flames roll out before the car in one frame.

Now, Torres faces a string of felony charges, including assault with a deadly weapon, assault and battery on a police officer and malicious mischief. She faces additional charges of larceny of an automobile and resisting arrest.

Since Torres is a tribal member, the case falls under the McGirt Ruling.

The Supreme Court’s 2020 ruling in the McGirt v Oklahoma case determined that areas reserved for the Muscogee Nation by Congress in the 19th Century were never disestablished.

Subsequent court actions meant that almost the entire eastern half of Oklahoma now falls under the ruling.

As a result, criminal prosecutions of Native Americans for offences committed in those areas fall outside of the state’s court system.

In those cases, jurisdiction over prosecutions is vested in indigenous judicial systems and federal district courts.
