Two additional Broward School District employees are facing charges resulting from an investigation of improper rentals of school gyms that began last year.
Brandon Wesley, 48, the athletic director and campus security manager at Coral Springs High School, was taken into custody at his home on May 7 on an active warrant. Cedric Smith, 57, the assistant coach of Boyd Anderson’s boys’ basketball team and school security head, turned himself in to the Broward Main Jail on May 8 on an active warrant, according to arrest reports.
In February, Shaune Cannon, a behavioral technician at Forest Glen Middle School in Coral Springs, was the fourth to be arrested. Henry Lewis McNabb, a security specialist and former coach at Blanche Ely High School; Brenton Hankerson, a security specialist and girls varsity coach at Coral Springs High School; and Donald Calloway, Coral Springs High School girls’ assistant basketball coach, were all arrested in December.
The Broward Schools Police Department found the gyms of at least five schools, including Boyd Anderson High, Blanche Ely High, Coral Springs High, Hollywood Hills High and Forest Glen Middle, had been rented to outside basketball associations in 2025 without proper protocols being followed, and the men were accused of profiting from the rentals, according to probable cause affidavits in the separate cases.
Wesley was allegedly involved with “illicit” basketball tournaments on five separate dates between April and June 2025, and subpoenaed bank records showed he received Zelle payments totaling $650, according to the affidavit. The name of the school where the tournaments were held is redacted. For the school district, the total potential revenue loss due to the rentals was determined to be nearly $9,000, the affidavit said.
Wesley faces one count of organized scheme to defraud $20,00 or less and one count of grand theft in excess of $10,000 but less than $20,000. He has not yet entered a plea. Attorney information was not available this week.
Smith allegedly held tournaments on three dates in April 2025 at at Boyd Anderson High and another school, the name of which was redacted in the probable cause affidavit. Bank records showed he received Zelle payments totaling $3,150, and the total potential revenue loss to the school district from both schools amounted to $7,620, the affidavit said.
Smith faces one count of organized scheme to defraud $20,000 or less and one count of grand theft less than $10,000. He has not yet entered a plea.
Attorney Johnny McCray Jr. represents both Smith and Hankerson, who has entered a diversion program with a reduced charge.
McCray Jr. told the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Tuesday that he believes bringing criminal charges is “overkill” and the matter could have been handled internally or through a cease-and-desist letter.
“I’m not making light of it, but to bring criminal charges against these guys, talking about an organized scheme to defraud? I think that’s a level of embellishment,” he said.
Statuses of earlier cases
Cannon, who resigned from his job in February after his arrest, faces one count of organized fraud and one count of third-degree grand theft. He has pleaded not guilty, court records show.
Bank records showed Cannon received multiple Zelle payments of $1,500 from two basketball organizations for rentals of Forest Glen Middle’s gym in April, May and June 2025, a probable cause affidavit said.
At Coral Springs High, Calloway rented out the gym from April through June 2025 for tournaments and allegedly arranged payments for the rentals through Hankerson, who then paid Calloway, a probable cause affidavit said.
The State Attorney’s Office reduced the charges against Calloway and Hankerson to misdemeanor petit theft, and they were accepted into diversion programs that they are on track to complete in June, court records show.
McCray Jr. said Hankerson gave a statement under oath in which he did not deny that he received money in connection with the gym rentals but maintained that the money was invested back into students. Hankerson kept receipts accounting for about $700 worth of purchases, including sneakers for players, a van rental and hotel rooms for travel games, McCray Jr. said.
“… He had documents for everything except for about $500 or $600,” McCray Jr. said.
McNabb is accused of having held additional tournaments at Blanche Ely in the same time frame and similar tournaments at Hollywood Hills High School. He has pleaded not guilty to one count of organized fraud and one count of grand theft in excess of $10,000 but less than $20,000, court records show.
