Former Office Manager Accused in $138K Embezzlement Case

A former Oklahoma office manager is facing felony embezzlement allegations after investigators say more than $138,000 was stolen from an oilfield company over a two-year period.

According to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, 46-year-old Angie Sue Ellis turned herself in to the Beckham County Sheriff’s Office on May 7 following a formal embezzlement investigation.

Investigators allege Angie Sue Ellis wrote unauthorized company checks and manipulated company financial records between 2023 and 2024.

The investigation began after an oilfield vendor contacted the company claiming invoices had not been paid.

OSBI Investigates Embezzlement Allegations

The OSBI embezzlement investigation was launched after the Roger Mills County Sheriff’s Office requested assistance in September 2024.

According to investigators, the oilfield company owner discovered financial discrepancies after learning a vendor payment was missing.

Authorities say Angie Sue Ellis allegedly manipulated payroll records and submitted fraudulent reimbursement requests for bills she claimed to have personally covered using her own credit cards.

Investigators also reportedly uncovered unauthorized company checks totaling more than $138,000 during a review of financial records.

The alleged embezzlement case remains one of the larger financial crime investigations recently handled by the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation in western Oklahoma.

Investigators Audited Financial Records

According to reports from News 9, investigators reviewed Ellis’s personal bank statements and credit card records during the investigation.

Authorities say investigators discovered additional questionable transactions tied to the alleged embezzlement scheme.

The investigation also uncovered a separate unverified vendor payment of $586 that investigators say remained inside Ellis’s personal account.

Officials have not publicly released the name of the oilfield company connected to the case.

The ongoing OSBI embezzlement investigation continues as prosecutors review evidence and financial records.

Angie Sue Ellis Bonded Out of Jail

According to Beckham County jail records, a district court judge issued an arrest warrant before Ellis surrendered to authorities.

Court records show Angie Sue Ellis was booked on a felony embezzlement complaint.

Her bond was reportedly set at $10,000, and records indicate she has since bonded out of custody while awaiting future court proceedings.

Additional court updates tied to the OSBI embezzlement investigation are expected in the coming weeks.
