Bingo Thieves Charged in Detroit - 08-11-06

A husband and wife were charged in Detroit, Michigan yesterday with embezzlement, after being caught stealing the proceeds from bingo games earmarked for senior citizens.

According to court records, Neal Greenfield, 41, of Westland and Shari Greenfield, 39, of Livonia, skimmed over $20 000 from a venue where bingo games were held, the Wayne Ford Civic League, between 1999 and 2004.

If convicted of their crime, each of the now-divorced accused faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.

The couple's bingo hall misdeeds were discovered during an audit of the Wayne Ford Civic League.

It transpired that during Neal Greenfield's tenure as the League president and his wife's tenure as vice president, large amounts of bingo money went missing.

The court heard how the bingo funds in question were supposed to be used for hosting League lunches, dinners and various other social events, and not for the personal use of the Greenfields.
