Testimony in week 2 of Swadley&#039;s fraud trial claims invoices lacked documentation Prosecutors in an Oklahoma County courtroom presented evidence alleging Brent Swadley, owner of Swadley’s Foggy Bottom Kitchen, defrauded the state by overcharging the tourism department. TESTIMONY TODAY. THE STATE IS CONTINUING TO BUILD THEIR CASE, LAYING OUT THAT PAPER TRAIL OF THE DOCUMENTS. THEY DID AND DID NOT RECEIVE, WHICH IS WHAT GOT THEM HERE TODAY. BRANT SWADLEY HERE IN A TAN SUIT, SAT IN COURT WHILE DEPUTY STATE AUDITOR MELISSA CAPPS SAID HIS INVOICES DON’T MAKE SENSE. THE RESTAURANT OWNER IS ACCUSED OF FRAUDULENTLY OVERCHARGING THE STATE TOURISM DEPARTMENT. CAPPS HELPED REVIEW SPENDING CONNECTED TO SWADLEY FOGGY BOTTOM KITCHEN CONTRACT WITH THE OKLAHOMA TOURISM DEPARTMENT. CAPPS TESTIFIED HER OFFICE REQUESTED THE OSBI OPEN INVESTIGATION BACK IN APRIL 2022. SHE TOLD JURORS INVESTIGATORS QUICKLY FOUND WHAT SHE DESCRIBED AS LIMITED, SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION FOR INVOICES SUBMITTED BY FBK, CAPPS SAID MANY OF THOSE INVOICES WERE VAGUE, OFTEN LISTING CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OR COSTS WITHOUT DETAILS ABOUT THE TYPE OF EQUIPMENT MODEL OR WHICH PROJECT IT’S EVEN CONNECTED TO. SHE TESTIFIED IT WAS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AT TIMES TO DETERMINE WHICH INVOICES MATCHED WHICH CONTRACTORS OR JOBS, SAYING MANY RECORDS WERE VAGUE, INCOMPLETE OR DIFFICULT TO CONNECT TO SPECIFIC PROJECTS. JURORS WERE ALSO SHOWN SPREADSHEETS CONNECTED TO THOSE INVOICES TODAY, INCLUDING DOCUMENTS INVESTIGATORS SAY SHOWED POSSIBLE MARKUPS TOTALING ABOUT $228,000. NOW, WE ALSO SPOKE WITH ATTORNEY WHO TELLS US THEY HAVE MULTIPLE WITNESSES OF THEIR OWN, AND HE SAYS HE’S CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC. WE USUALLY ARE. WE DON’T GO INTO A CASE WITHOUT THINKING WE CAN WIN. WE DON’T ALWAYS WIN. BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS WANT TO THINK IT. AND SWADLEY IS PLEADING NOT GUILTY TO ALL THE CHARGES. Updated: 6:14 PM CDT May 26, 2026 Editorial Standards ⓘ Chantelle Navarro An
