Marine veteran and federal air marshal has been accused of scamming $70,000 worth of flights by faking military deployments.
Dior Jay-Jarett, 29, used his job as an airline baggage handler to snag 130 flights after claiming military leave, according to prosecutors.
jet first class to the likes of London, Las Vegas and Dublin, as well as travel standard class to Mexico and the Caribbean.
then bragged on Facebook about a trip to Cabo San Lucas at the airline's expense.

The filing states that Jay-Jarrett conducted the scam between 2021 and 2024, first starting just a week after he completed his baggage handling training with the unnamed airline.
Jay-Jarett was on active duty with the US Marine Corps from December 2013 until November 2022, when he was medically retired at the rank of Staff Sergeant.
However, he failed to inform his employers about his retirement, prosecutors claim.
'By remaining on supposed long-term military leave at Airline-1, Jay-Jarett remained entitled to travel benefits including the ability to take unlimited, free flights on Airline-1
During his time with the airline, he also picked up work as as a Loss Prevention Lead at a sporting goods store and US air marshal while on military leave from his airline position.
'I believe Jay-Jarrett may have maintained an extended military leave at Retailer-1 in order to benefit from the store’s employee discount,' Special Agent Aaron Greenberg said.
'Because Jay-Jarrett continuously worked multiple, fulltime, and higher-paying jobs between 2021 and the present, I believe he never intended to actually begin work as a baggage handler at Airline-1.'

People up with new scams and crimes everyday. Give Dior credit for originality.
Do the Marines have a yardarm?
He’s primary material for running as a RAT for public office.
He allegedly became worried after he was stopped by a TSA agent who expressed concern.
‘Later that day, Jay-Jarett texted his girlfriend that “I think I just walked into a trap,” explaining that he had been asked to provide Airline-1 with the paperwork he had completed,’ the complaint states.
The complaint also details how the accused allegedly became evasive when his girlfriend sent him text messages questioning the excessive air travel.
I don’t think the Marines have boats. They have pals who provide that service.

“Yes sir, the Admiral sez to me, he sez, ‘Drill, we need you in Cabo for a top secret operation’ and I sez, ‘Yessir Admiral’ and here I am. Really.”
More reparations.
“During his time with the airline, he also picked up work as as a ...US air marshal while on military leave from his airline position.”
This sounds like some very, very poor background screening for a U.S. Air Marshall. I hope that claim is not true.
My husband and I went out one Veteran’s Day for dinner. While waiting to be seated, a man, wearing a veteran’s baseball cap, was walking around using a walker in the lobby of the restaurant. My husband told me he wanted to buy his dinner to thank him for his service.
We did - he had ordered a porterhouse steak, appetizer and a top shelf drink. He stopped by on the way out to thank my husband and he fake saluted my husband, with a limp hand. (Both hands and arms were working fine.) He pulled up part of a brand new IV line that was just dangling about a foot and said he had surgery earlier that day. He was fake. I was sickened but didn’t tell my husband. I will keep an eye out from not on, you can bet your sweet butt.
Somehow I knew it was going to be a son of Obeyme.
We borrow them from the squids when we need one. This seems to be a good time. Calling him a Marine appears to be like Murtha. Honor/integrity are components of that title. Yes we do things we shouldn’t, but this is out of control.
How many suspected terrorist incidents have been stopped by US air marshals? I think it’s time to end this program. It has probably spent billions for nothing. instead, we should be profiling people before they get on the planes.
What kind of a medical retirement would allow someone to become a baggage handler? This man had multiple scams going.

He’s was just doing what those in government have been doing to all taxpayers for many decades.
Marines are the best gate guards.
