Federal prosecutors charged the executive director of Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City (BLMOKC) with a major wire fraud and money laundering scheme, authorities said Thursday.

A federal grand jury indicted Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, 52, on Dec. 3 with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Oklahoma. Dickerson allegedly pocketed over $3 million in returned bail checks meant for the organization’s mission.

Dickerson ran BLMOKC starting in 2016 at the latest and received access to the organization’s bank, PayPal and Cash App accounts, the indictment read. The group raised over $5.6 million following George Floyd’s death in 2020, receiving grants from national bail funds such as the Massachusetts Bail Fund, the Minnesota Freedom Fund and the Community Justice Exchange.

Prosecutors alleged Dickerson instead placed at least $3.15 million of the returned bail funds inside her own accounts between June 2020 and at least October 2025. She then spent the money on Caribbean vacations to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic for herself and others connected to her, retail shopping sprees to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars, at least $50,000 in groceries and food for her kids and herself, a vehicle put under her name and six Oklahoma City properties, according to the indictment.
