FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (WTVD) -- A current Harnett County deputy and former officer of the Dunn Police Department is accused of posing as a veteran to get a $12.60 discount from Buckle at the Cross Creek Mall in Fayetteville.

Jenny Lou Dixon, 44, was arrested Friday.

She faces two felony counts of identity theft and obtaining property through a false pretense.

Dixon was placed on administrative leave with pay pending the outcome of an internal investigation into the charges.
