Anderson used the grant to buy a house on Kirk Avenue in East Nashville, but the house was foreclosed upon in 2009.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Anderson received another grant from the VA in May 2007 for $25,000 to buy a specialized van to transport the veterans. She received an additional $258,000 in December 2007 to buy another residence to house homeless vets. However, neither of those grants was used for veterans, but to further Anderson&#8217;s gambling addiction, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Hilliard Hester, who prosecuted the case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>She also told the VA that she was involved in covert operations in Afghanistan, when, in fact, she was a clerk at Fort Bragg. I&#8217;m pretty sure that any covert operations she conducted involved unapproved trips to the snack bar and hiding from her first sergeant during PT and BMI tape tests.<\/p>\n<p>She got two years in prison.
