From 2016 through 2019, the Cherokee Nation Attorney General charged Gilliland, a former executive director of the Cherokee Nation Foundation, with 15 total counts of embezzlement. While facing tribal criminal charges, Gilliland fled to Poland and filed a habeas petition in 2022 in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Oklahoma, seeking to have a warrant for her arrest voided and tribal embezzlement charges dismissed.
