The fraud investigation is still ongoing, but detectives believe Alcocer stole $2,000-3,000 per month over the past three or more years.

Alcocer was booked at the Placer County Jail and subsequently released due to Federal requirements to ease jail overcrowding. He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 8 at 8:30 a.m. in the jail courtroom.
