But the sentry does go - twice - to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).
Specifically, Theban King Creon assigns sentries to guard the unburied bodies of the disloyal Theban dead. One of the bodies gets a partial burial under a layer of dust. The sentry reluctantly reports the first violation and comes back with the perpetrator on his second interaction with Creon.
The sentry captured Antigone burying Polyneices and brought her to Creon

The guard and sentry report it to him.
Antigone. Sentry sees Antigone bury her brother, Polyneices, and is appalled. He takes her to Creon who says that is Antigone is involved in this crime, her sister, Ismene must be following too!
He orders the sentry to find out who is burying polyneices because he had strict orders to not bury him. Then the sentry brings Creon's niece Antigone in and sentences her to death.
That she is caught violating the law is the reason why the sentry leads Antigone into Creon's presence in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone breaks her uncle King Creon's law of non-burial of the disloyal Theban dead. She buries her brother Polyneices' body before guards are posted. She comes back to check on her work and is captured. The sentry escorts to be interrogated and sentenced by Creon.
Compassion and relief are the sentry's feelings when he delivers Antigone to Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, the sentry demonstrates compassion in describing Theban Princess Antigone's pain at the sight of her brother Polyneices' re-exposed body. He exhibits relief in finding the law breaker. He knows that he will not be tortured or killed just because hot-tempered King Creon cannot find the actual perpetrator.
she was caught breaking the law
Because the guards saw her burying the body and Creon told the sentry to figure out who had buried the body and defied his orders or the sentry would be the one serving the death penalty.
The Sentry Returns Because He Wants To Prove To Creon That He Didn't Bury Polyneices Body And That He's Innocent.
To save himself from the king's threat to kill him if he does not find the culprit.
It is Antigone that the sentry captures and brings before Creon in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).Specifically, Theban King Creon announces that the disloyal Theban dead will be denied their god-given rights as Thebans to below ground burials. He assigns sentries to guard the unburied bodies. The sentries catch Princess Antigone in the act of giving her brother Polyneices' body a second partial burial and anointing.
