“While I can’t be completely certain, this may be the first person in the state charged with stolen valor,” said police Lt. Michael Ciccolini about the arrest of Jeffrey G. Alajajian, 30. <\/p>\n
The stolen valor charge resulted from the sign Alajajian was holding while begging for money that identified him as a veteran. <\/p>\n
Ciccolini said that while Alajajian was being booked, he admitted that he wasn’t a veteran. <\/p>\n

Alajajian in the past three years has been charged with larceny over $250 and shoplifting in Leominster. In 2010, he was charged in Ayer with attempted murder for allegedly attempting to strangle his girlfriend, and in 2011 he was charged in Ayer with child abuse for allegedly injuring his girlfriend’s 22-month-old son.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
