MITCHELL – A Mitchell woman was detained on charges of intimidation and harassment following a complaint made to the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department
Andrea Deel of Mitchell, Indiana, has been charged with intimidation and harassment following a complaint made to the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department. Â
According to a probable cause affidavit filed on April 26, 2025, Deputy D. Miller of the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department spoke with a male, who reported receiving concerning messages from 39-year-old Andrea Deel regarding a gun. He stated that Deel demanded the return of the weapon, which he no longer had, as it was taken as evidence in a previous case. He also claimed Deel yelled at him from the street near his house. Â
The affidavit details that Deel sent multiple text messages to the man, including one stating, “I’m on my way to your f***ing house. She’s stupid bitch and I’m f***ing everything up until you’ve done motherf***ers give me all my guns back.”
Deputy Miller’s attempts to contact Deel by phone were unsuccessful, with calls going straight to voicemail. A search of the phone number that sent the messages to the male confirmed that the number belongs to Deel. Â
The male victim was advised to seek a protection order against Deel. He later informed the Sheriff’s Department that Deel continued to contact him with concerning text messages, including one where Deel allegedly threatened, “You’ll get shot. I promise I f***ing promise you I will shoot you.” Â
The affidavit states that Deputy Miller documented the text messages and a video of Deel’s numerous calls to the male victim. Â
All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. This article is based on the information provided in the Probable Cause Affidavit and does not represent a final determination of guilt or innocence.
