2 Tulsa County Sheriff's Office employees arrested, fired

Two Tulsa County Sheriff's Office employees have been fired after being charged with stealing from a Glenpool grocery store.

Stacey Shavney worked as a deputy, and her daughter was a part-time clerk.

What happened?

Glenpool Police say Stacey Shavney and her daughter Brooklyn were caught trying to steal nearly 20 items from a store by not scanning the items in the self-checkout lane.

The arrest report says that on June 29th, a Glenpool grocery store employee called police, saying he caught the Shavneys trying to leave the store without paying. He told police that surveillance video shows the women didn't scan 19 items, worth $91.68.

The women were released at the scene, and a warrant was filed for their arrest.

Stacey and Brooklyn Shavney turned themselves into the Tulsa County jail last Thursday after prosecutors charged them both with misdemeanor larceny of merchandise from a retailer.

Terminated by TCSO

Earlier that day, the Tulsa County Sheriff's office sent them both termination letters.

Both letters say "your services for the Tulsa County Sheriff's office are no longer required," for breaking department policy, rules and regulations.

Both Stacey and Brooklyn Shavney have bonded out of jail.

Statement from Glenpool Police Chief Jeremy Plane:

"On June 29th, 2025, the Glenpool Police Department responded to a report of theft at the Glenpool Walmart. Officers initially determined the value of the stolen goods for this incident totaled $91.68 and issued a ticket for petit larceny to Stacy Shavney. GPD also planned to send a recommendation for charges to the Muscogee Nation as a second suspect, Brooklyn Shavney, claimed to be a tribal citizen. It is common practice to issue a municipal ticket for simple petit larceny cases where the perpetrators are not in violation of a trespassing order, nor have a known pattern of offenses. 

The Shavneys are mother and daughter, and both were employed at the time as Tulsa County Sheriff’s Deputies assigned to the Tulsa County Courthouse. 

The following afternoon, the local Walmart contacted GPD with additional information about other thefts from not only the Glenpool location, but also from additional area Walmarts that the Shavneys had committed. After evaluating the new evidence, it was determined the Shavneys had stolen, over several occasions, an additional $229.71 from the Glenpool store. This department does not know the dollar amount of thefts at other locations, as it is outside of the GPD jurisdiction. GPD then dismissed the municipal ticket and sought new charges through Tulsa County district court for both suspects since tribal citizenship for Brooklyn Shavney could not be verified. The court issued arrest warrants for both women, who later turned themselves in to Tulsa County."
