The Stolen Valor blog This Ain't Hell exposed Alcorn back in January. The website filed Freedom of Information Acts with the National Personnel Records Center, and received responses that Alcorn was never found in any of their records.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – A man was arrested after police say he stole from two different charities for veterans by pretending to be a wounded marine.

Jefferey Alcorn claimed he was a wounded Marine suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from his deployments in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to police reports obtained by ABC 36 News.

But, police say, Alcorn never served in the military.

According to the reports, he falsified documents to get a service dog, from the organization Paws4Life, to deal with his PTSD. The trained service dog, he was given, was valued at $2,500.00.

According to the police report, Alcorn also falsified documents to the Veteran’s Airlift Command to pay $2,700.00 for the flight to and from Georgia to pick up the service dog.

Alcorn was arrested Saturday afternoon at Blue Grass Airport after he returned from picking up the dog, police says.
