At that point, Gentry-Cape began yelling for other inmates to help him fight. Six other inmates surrounded the two jailers and Gentry-Cape and yelled and pointed fingers, but did not join in the fight.
For that incident, Gentry-Cape is charged with inciting a riot and second degree battery, both felonies, and misdemeanor counts of third degree assault, disorderly conduct and impairing the operation of a vital public facility. His bond on those charges is $15,000.
His latest charge comes from a phone call five days later. According to that affidavit, Gentry-Cape was talking to a female who is apparently his girlfriend. During the conversation, the female was upset and crying because she had been arrested. Gentry-Cape said “…imma murder that (expletive)(expletive) cop, alright?”
The following day, investigators contacted the female and asked her to come in for an interview. Shortly after, Gentry-Cape called her and asked her to put money in his commissary account. She said she would when she came in for the interview. Gentry-Cape told her not to come in because it was a set up. He also said “Hide everything in the house…they don’t need your help. Let ’em find it for themselves, right?”
Gentry-Cape called the female back and told her not to show up, and she didn’t. A subpoena was obtained, ordering her to show up the next day and a court order was issued revoking Gentry-Cape’s phone privileges.
During an interview with investigators, the female said there is not a certain law enforcement officer Gentry-Cape is targeting, it could be anyone.
When he was interviewed, Gentry-Cape said he has a “mental deal” and sometimes it speaks through him. He said “…When these things are speaking to me and through me, I don’t have control. It scares the (expletive) out of me. They took my mind privacy. I am a danger to my family and friends because I can’t control it. I want help. I want to talk to Donald Trump himself.”
During a review of a video call two days after his original arrest, Gentry-Cape talks to the female about a pistol in the house and who he wants her to give it to so he can get it when he gets out of jail. Investigators say it proves Gentry-Cape has access to a firearm to carry out his threat to murder a law enforcement officer.
In this case, Gentry-Cape is charged with a felony count of first degree terroristic threatening. His bond on this charge is set at $50,000.
ORIGINAL ARREST
Gentry-Cape was originally arrested Jan. 25 for 10 charges following a traffic stop when the Harrison officer saw him driving and knew his license was suspended. Drugs and paraphernalia were found in the vehicle and Gentry-Cape resisted arrest, injuring one officer, sending him to the hospital.
His charges from that incident include felony counts of second degree battery on a law enforcement officer, terroristic threatening, possession of methamphetamine, and possession of drug paraphernalia along with misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest, possession of drug paraphernalia, possession of a schedule VI controlled substance, driving on a suspended license, failure to transfer a registration and not wearing a seat belt. His bond on those charges is set at $50,000.
PREVIOUS ARRESTS
Gentry-Cape has four previous felony arrests, two each in Marion and Boone counties.
The two cases in Marion County occurred in 2021 and still have not been resolved. In one of them, Gentry-Cape scuffled with a bailiff and carried knives into the courthouse during a court hearing. The charges in the cases include second degree battery, carrying a gun in a publicly owned building, refusal to submit to arrest, disorderly conduct, possession of a controlled substance and driving left of center.
In March of 2023, Gentry-Cape was found not fit to proceed and was ordered to into the custody of the Department of Human Services for detention for care and treatment.
Both cases were continued last year, but no new court documents have been filed about court proceedings.
In Boone County, Gentry-Cape was arrested by the Diamond City Police Department in 2023 for assaulting his grandfather while on methamphetamine. He was given 17 days in jail for that incident.
Later in 2023, he was arrested on nine charges by the Harrison Police Department when he shot the doors at the J. Smith Federal building from his car and then led officers on a high speed chase through town.
That case is still making its way through the court system.
