Former Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema's ex-lover and former bodyguard, Matthew Ammel, has been charged with a class 4 felony for allegedly breaking into her Cave Creek home on August 30, 2026, while she was away. According to Maricopa County sheriff's deputies, Ammel destroyed over $200,000 worth of property, including 22 paintings valued at $123,015, expensive liquor bottles, and a large wall-mounted mirror. The incident reportedly occurred after Sinema refused to post a video on X as demanded by Ammel, who allegedly threatened to destroy a painting on a fixed timer if she did not comply. Sinema provided deputies with text messages, video recordings, and surveillance footage that helped identify Ammel as the perpetrator. Ammel, a 39-year-old Army veteran, was arrested on September 18 and initially appeared in court via deputy due to reported combative behavior in the hallway. He was released with an electronic monitor ahead of his next court date. The relationship between Sinema and Ammel, who served on her security detail in 2024, has already led to separate litigation, including a lawsuit by Ammel's ex-wife under North Carolina's 'homewrecker' law, alleging Sinema began an affair during a 2023 Las Vegas concert. A federal judge recently allowed the lawsuit to proceed. Sinema, who left the Senate in 2024 after declining re-election, has since worked for the law and lobbying firm Hogan Lovells. Construction crews have been building a wall around her property, which neighbors say was planned due to prior threats, including from Ammel, who was seen doing yard work at the home. Sinema's team has not yet commented on Ammel's arrest.
