The Sheriff’s Office began investigating Alcorn after receiving complaints from two local furniture businesses that reported fraudulent purchases. Following an investigation, detectives linked Alcorn to the transactions, authorities said.

Detectives found Alcorn Friday at a local business and took her into custody, the Sheriff’s Office said. While executing a search warrant of her car, authorities found over 58 grams of assorted drugs, including heroin, marijuana and ecstasy.

Investigators learned of an address in St. Martinville where Alcorn lived that had not been previously known, the Sheriff’s Office said. With help from the St. Martinville Police Department, authorities found additional evidence linking the suspect to the thefts.

Detectives found several credit-card-related items, an embossing machine, which is used by banks to create debit or credit cards, and more than 5 pounds of marijuana, the Sheriff’s Office said.

Investigators also found evidence that indicated Alcorn used fraudulent identifications to carry out her crimes, authorities said.

Alcorn,originally from California, is also wanted in Arkansas in a similar investigation, authorities said. She was booked into the Terrebonne Parish jail, where she remains on $380,000 bail. She is also being held on pending charges from different agencies.

Detectives recovered the stolen merchandise and returned it to the businesses, the Sheriff’s Office said.
