Family Says US Marine's Russian Prison Sentence is Unjust
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — The family of a former U.S. Marine Corps veteran who got a nine-year prison sentence in Russia for assaulting two police officers say the sentence is unjust and politically motivated.
Trevor Reed was charged in August 2019 with assaulting the officers who were driving him to a police station after picking him up following a night of heavy drinking at a party. Russian authorities say the 28-year-old grabbed the arm of the driving officer, causing him to swerve into another lane, and elbowed another officer who tried to intervene.
