STILLWATER — A 60-year-old Edmond man has been charged with embezzling $23,580 from the Stillwater Pioneer Booster Club during a seven-month period between Oct. 4, 2021, and May 5, 2022, while he was serving as its president, court records show.
Former Stillwater resident Britt Alan Weaver, who has not yet appeared in Payne County District Court in the case, “wrote a statement where he took ownership of the embezzlement and offered to refund the entire amount to the SPBC,” Stillwater Police Detective David Adney alleged in an affidavit filed with the charge on June 30, 2025.
During an April 29, 2025, interview, “Weaver admitted he had no documentation to substantiate how he used the money from the withdrawals. Weaver admitted he circumvented the proper procedure by writing checks from the SPBC account for cash for himself.
“On June 6, 2022, a report was made with the Stillwater Police Department by the CFO of Stillwater Public Schools,” who noticed a negative balance in the Stillwater Pioneer Booster Club (SPBC) account, which led to a formal review dating from 6/1/19 through 5/31/22, the affidavit alleged.
The CFO “reported a series of suspicious withdrawals from the SPBC account by President Britt Weaver between 10/4/21 through 5/5/22,” at a Stillwater bank, the affidavit alleged. The CFO “reached out to Weaver on multiple occasions to inquire about the transactions but received no response.
“There were eight cash withdrawals totaling $22,000 and one cashier’s check for $1,580 for a grand total of $23,580 on eight separate occasions. Stillwater School Superintendent Uwe Gordon requested a forensic audit from the Oklahoma State Auditor & Inspector.
“On April 7, 2025, I received a copy of the forensic audit. The Oklahoma State Auditor & Inspector concluded Weaver made eight cash withdrawals and obtained one cashier’s check for personal expenditure that resulted in misappropriation of funds totaling $23,580,” the detective alleged in his affidavit.
