American Trevor Reed, who attacked the police in Moscow, turned out to be a former guard of the US President Barack Obama. This family of Reed told CNN TV channel.
During the service, Rid’s Marine Ridge managed to work in Washington and the suburban residence of the US President Camp David. His father Jow Reed suggested that Trevor was sentenced to imprisonment precisely because of his past.
On July 30, 2020, the Moscow Golovin court sentenced Trevor Rida to nine years in prison. The 28-year-old American was found guilty under Article 318 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (“Application to the representative of the authority of violence, life-threatening or health”). It was found that on August 16, 2019, the tenants of the house on the Leningradskoye highway called the police to calm the drunk man who had quarreled with several women. But the arriving policemen also showed aggression. On the way to the department in the service car, he attacked the police – broke out the driver and hit his colleague.
Reed himself explained his behavior of a liter of drunk vodka. Before the announcement of the sentence, the American also promised to never drink this alcoholic drink anymore. In the US Congress, they called for Russia to free the American, calling the case “politically motivated.”
