Bolivar woman charged with stealing from veterans' bingo proceeds


(From Missouri State Highway Patrol)

Captain Kevin J. Hunter, commanding officer of the Missouri State Highway Patrol's Gaming Division, announces the results of an investigation into a theft from the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) Memorial Chapter 66 in Bolivar, MO.

The investigation was conducted by members of the Gaming Division’s Investigations Section, which is responsible for criminal and regulatory investigations related to sports wagering, fantasy sports, and charitable games. The Patrol was assisted by the Missouri Gaming Commission (MGC).








During a routine audit of the DAV Memorial Chapter 66, regulatory auditors from MGC’s Charitable Games Division identified numerous improper and unreported transactions from the DAV’s charitable bingo account. The auditors' findings were reported to Gaming Division investigators. These audit findings prompted an additional investigation into the use of charitable bingo proceeds.

As a result of these investigations, on Tuesday, June 30, 2026, the Polk County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office formally charged Anna Theresa Greene, 59, of Bolivar, MO, with Stealing - $750 or more (class D felony).

The above charge is a mere accusation and is not evidence of guilt. Evidence in support of this charge must be presented before a court of competent jurisdiction, whose duty is to determine guilt or innocence.
