In May 2024, Cavey and his girlfriend, Janine Keslar, were indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and wire fraud.

An arrest warrant was issued for Cavey on May 29.

The Camden County Sheriff's Office, SRT teams and the Secret Service joined forces to find him. The sheriff's office said that although Cavey was not located at a searched home in St. Marys, law enforcement found drugs and drug paraphernalia. This resulted in the following arrests:

Brenda Keslar was charged with trafficking and possession of methamphetamine.
Janine Keslar was charged with trafficking.
Richard Clevenger was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Cavey was eventually found and arrested days later in St. Johns County and charged with wire fraud.

The Camden County Sheriff's Office thanked the Secret Service for their partnership in the operation.
