Criminal charges revealed former Tulsa Public Schools bond director Hudgins directed a decade-long kickback scheme benefiting his own company
Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond and Tulsa County District Attorney Steve Kunzweiler charged former Tulsa Public Schools Executive Director of Bonds and Energy Management Charles Christopher Hudgins, along with contractors Thomas McKenna and Gayle Gwinup of Allied Engineering Group, on June 4, 2026 with conspiracy, embezzlement and kickback violations. Prosecutors alleged Hudgins directed the district to pay Allied Engineering more than $779,000 for roofing projects never performed, with Allied Engineering funneling most of that money to Hudgins' own architecture firm. A state audit released August 18, 2026 found the full scheme, which ran from 2015 to 2025, diverted $3.73 million in misspent bond and rebate funds, including more than $2.6 million paid directly to Hudgins' business.
