Two additional employees of the Broward County Public Schools have been arrested as part of an ongoing investigation into unauthorized gym rentals that allegedly bypassed district procedures and cost the school system thousands of dollars in lost revenue.
According to reports from the South Florida Sun Sentinel, Brandon Wesley, 48, athletic director and campus security manager at Coral Springs High School, was arrested May 7 at his home on an active warrant. Cedric Smith, 57, assistant boys’ basketball coach and head of school security at Boyd H. Anderson High School, surrendered to authorities the following day.
Investigators with the Broward Schools Police Department launched the probe in June 2025 after receiving reports of possible fraudulent activity tied to the rental of school facilities.
Authorities allege that gyms at at least five schools — including Boyd Anderson High, Coral Springs High, Blanche Ely High School, Hollywood Hills High School and Forest Glen Middle School — were rented to outside basketball organizations without following district approval and payment procedures.
Court records cited by the Sun Sentinel state that Wesley participated in unauthorized basketball tournaments at Coral Springs High on several dates between April and June 2025. Investigators said he received Zelle payments totaling $650 connected to the rentals, while the district’s estimated revenue loss tied to those events was nearly $9,000.
Wesley faces charges of organized scheme to defraud under $20,000 and grand theft between $10,000 and $20,000. Jail records showed he was being held without bond earlier this week.
Smith is accused of organizing tournaments at Boyd Anderson High on three dates in April 2025. Investigators alleged he received $3,150 through Zelle payments, while the district lost an estimated $7,620 in rental revenue. He faces charges of organized scheme to defraud and grand theft under $10,000.
The investigation has already led to several arrests. In February, Shaune Cannon, a behavioral technician at Forest Glen Middle School, was arrested. In December, authorities arrested Henry Lewis McNabb, Brenton Hankerson and Donald Calloway in connection with the same investigation.
McNabb was later terminated by the Broward School Board during a May 5 meeting, according to other reports.
Investigators said the unauthorized agreements bypassed the district’s official facility rental platform and exposed the school system to potential liability and safety concerns.
