Federal Grand Jury Indicts BLM OKC Leader
A federal grand jury has indicted 52-year-old Tashella Dickerson, the head of Black Lives Matter Oklahoma City (BLM), on charges of wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors allege Dickerson funneled more than $3 million—money raised to assist protesters with bail—into her own personal accounts.
Prosecutors Detail Luxury Spending Spree
Court filings accuse Dickerson of using donated funds for vacations, luxury shopping, food, a car purchase, and multiple real estate transactions. Federal investigators say nearly all the funds earmarked to create a “revolving bail fund” instead went to personal enrichment.
If convicted, Dickerson faces decades in federal prison and mandatory restitution.
Federal prosecutors emphasize that the indictment reflects allegations, and Dickerson is presumed innocent until proven guilty in court.
