Default SWA flying to Lawton, OK??

Just curious. I was with family for Thanksgiving in Lawton, OK last week. I don't remember exactly which day it was (maybe Wednesday?), I saw an SWA 737 turning final for runway 17 at LAW (Lawton Municipal Airport). The weather was IFR and it looked like he was circling to land off the ILS to 35 (There's no instrument approach to 17 because of the Ft. Sill restricted airspace north of the airport.) Anyway, that airport is only served by AMR Eagle. Any of you SWA guys know if this was perhaps a military charter or maybe an emergency landing?

Again, just curious. Lawton is my hometown and I'm pretty sure SWA has not started service there. It really made me do a double take when I saw an SWA 737 turning final there!
