Scott Tracy Weaver is accused of distributing fentanyl that caused the 2024 death of Drake Minton.
OKLAHOMA CITY — A state multi-county grand jury has indicted a 48-year-old man on a murder charge, accusing him of distributing the fentanyl that killed 27-year-old Drake Minton.
Scott Tracy Weaver is accused of distributing the drug between Jan. 9 and Jan. 12, 2024, in Pottawatomie and Cleveland counties. The indictment says Minton died of fentanyl toxicity.
The first-degree murder charge is based on Oklahoma’s felony-murder law, with the alleged fentanyl distribution serving as the underlying felony. The grand jury listed second-degree murder as an alternative, alleging Weaver acted with extreme disregard for human life.
Weaver also faces a separate felony count of distributing a controlled dangerous substance.
Drug Enforcement Administration Special Agent Brook Wilson is the only witness identified in the indictment. The attorney general’s office said Monday that DEA agents believe Weaver previously sold drugs to Minton and knew Minton had an addiction. The indictment does not provide details about those alleged earlier sales.
Weaver is being held at the Oklahoma County Detention Center on several charges, according to the office.
An indictment is an accusation. Weaver is presumed innocent unless convicted.
