Connie Bobo, the executive director of the New Heights Community Resource Center in Bridgeton, Missouri, is facing serious allegations of fraud. According to federal prosecutors, Bobo allegedly embezzled $10 million intended to provide meals for low-income children and used the funds for personal luxuries, including mansions and a luxury car.

Prosecutors claim that between February 2019 and March 2022, Bobo falsely reported serving over three million meals, leading the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services to pay New Heights approximately $11 million.
