A Tulsa-area contractor faces 17 counts of felony embezzlement following an investigation by the Oklahoma Attorney General's Office.

 The Oklahoma Consumer Protection Unit filed charges on Monday against Todd Douglas Briggs who operated T. Briggs Construction and Oasis Pools ans Outdoor Living. Briggs is accused of taking more than $1.2 million from 17 customers for home or pool construction that he never completed or for which he never paid sub-contractors.

In July 2023, Briggs told customers that he was filing for bankruptcy only days after receiving large payments from several of them and leaving their projects left incomplete. Customers in Tulsa, Jenks, Broken Arrow, Owasso, Collinsville, Sapulpa, Bixby, and Beggs were listed among those affected.
