Three people, including the founder of Swadley's Bar-B-Q, Ronald Swadley, have been indicted for conspiracy to defraud the state and presenting false or fraudulent claims against the state in connection to the company's contract with the Oklahoma Tourism and Recreation Department. The accusations involve the company providing false invoices to the Tourism Department to pay for public funds and creating fake invoices with larger amounts for equipment. The contract between Swadley's and the state was terminated in April 2022 after allegations of fraudulent activity.
