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.
