A federal air marshal and veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps is accused of faking military deployments while still reaping the benefits of his job as an airline baggage handler — including free flights for himself, family members, and friends.

According to federal prosecutors, Dior Jay-Jarrett, 29, of Queens, New York, wove a web of lies that vastly overstated his military obligations in order to travel to far-flung locales on his employer’s dime. He served in the Marines from December 2013 until being medically retired in November 2022 — and his alleged wrongdoing began about a year before that retirement.
