Overview
- The unsealed Dec. 11 federal indictment charges Tashella Sheri Amore Dickerson, 52, with 20 counts of wire fraud and five counts of money laundering.
- Prosecutors allege that from June 2020 through at least October 2025 she deposited at least $3.15 million in returned bail checks into personal accounts rather than BLMOKC’s.
- The filing cites spending on trips to Jamaica and the Dominican Republic, tens of thousands in retail purchases, at least $50,000 in food deliveries, a vehicle, and six Oklahoma City properties tied to her or an LLC she controlled.
- The DOJ says BLMOKC raised more than $5.6 million, much of it routed through fiscal sponsor Alliance for Global Justice, and alleges two false annual reports were submitted to the sponsor about the money’s use.
- Local news reports she made an initial court appearance after the indictment was unsealed; the FBI Oklahoma City Field Office and IRS-CI investigated, Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matt Dillon and Jessica L. Perry are prosecuting, and she is presumed innocent.
