Multi-County Grand Jury indicts man accused of selling fatal dose of fentanyl
OKLAHOMA CITY (Aug. 24, 2026) – The Multi-County Grand Jury has indicted a man accused of distributing a deadly dose of fentanyl that killed a 27-year-old man.
Scott Tracy Weaver, 48, faces felony charges of Murder in the First Degree, or in the alternative Murder in the Second Degree, along with Distribution of a Controlled Dangerous Substance, in connection with the death of Drake Minton.
According to the indictment, Minton died of fentanyl toxicity after Weaver distributed the drug to him in January 2024 in Cleveland County. The medical examiner determined fentanyl caused Minton’s death. Agents with the Drug Enforcement Administration say Weaver had sold drugs to Minton before, and he knew Minton had an addiction.
“Fentanyl dealers are peddling poison, and when that poison kills, it's murder,” said Attorney General Gentner Drummond. “This grand jury sent a message that dealing fentanyl in Oklahoma carries the same risk as pulling a trigger. Anyone who puts this drug into our communities and takes a life should expect to face the harshest consequences Oklahoma statute allows.”
Weaver is currently being held in the Oklahoma County Detention Center on several charges.
Every person arrested or charged is presumed innocent unless and until convicted in a court of law.
