Swadley’s Fraud Trial Ends in Guilt | Oklahoma City News

Brent Swadley, the restaurateur convicted of defrauding the state during the pandemic, returned to court in full custody—handcuffed and in restraints—as judges weigh a potential 10-year sentence and $75,000 in fines. Prosecutors allege he stole $3.1 million through inflated invoices at six state park restaurants under his chain, Swadley’s Foggy Bottom Kitchen. Despite his family’s claim it’s a case of accounting errors, not fraud, Swadley maintains his innocence and plans to appeal. His contract was canceled last year over suspicious practices, and he’s now being held in a different jail for safety. The judge still must decide on restitution and final sentencing.
