Long Island Audit Demands Own Arrest in Connecticut

With a look of defiance in his eye, SeanPaul “Long Island Audit” Reyes livestreamed on Saturday to recount his harrowing experience Friday afternoon after he was trespassed and arrested after  showing up at the house of Connecticut State Trooper Bryan Fahey.

Reyes disclosed to his fans that his motivation for the visit to Officer Fahey’s house was that he received a tip off from one of Fahey’s co-workers that Fahey was illegally abusing the overtime system at work. According to Reyes, Fahey is employed as a “pistol permit” officer and makes $130,000.00 a year in base salary but has applied for $80,000.00 in overtime.

Fahey is also being sued by Reyes in Federal Court in an active civil rights lawsuit and Reyes has been profiting from the airing of anti-Fahey videos on his channel.

In Saturday night’s livestream, Reyes would admit that Fahey has an active protective order against him that would prevent Reyes from filing a complaint against Fahey at any Connecticut State Police department.

Reyes said he was acting “as any journalist would” when he hired a camera man and drove his $165,000.00 electronic billboard truck to Fahey’s house to “ask him questions” about Fahey’s alleged corruption.

He was shocked, with billboard truck parked displaying anti-Fahey material in view of Fahey’s house, that the state trooper did not accommodate his request for answers when he and his cameraman presented themselves for an ambush style interview.

According to Reyes’ account, Fahey told Reyes to leave, Reyes slowly complied and as tensions escalated Fahey pulled his gun out. The men began screaming at each other and Reyes alleges that Fahey spit directly into his face during the incident.

As the police arrived, the men were separated and Reyes claimed that the officers on the scene were helpful but refused to arrest Fahey for assault as Fahey did not physically injure Reyes.

When Reyes inquired about the consequences of spitting in the face of an officer, he was apparently told that would be a different category as it would involve assault on a state trooper and he would be arrested.

Again enraged, Reyes wanted to know why Fahey was not arrested for his actions and brandishing a weapon. He was instructed that both Fahey and Reyes could be arrested for breaching the peace. When Reyes demanded to be arrested, he and his camera man were arrested at the scene.

Reyes was initially told that his bond would be $10,000.00 but he’d only have to put up $700.00 and his cameraman would be released on an appearance bond. This later ballooned to $75,000.00 for Reyes and $50,000.00 for his camera crew as the charges involved an active state trooper.

A bondsman would later bond out both men and they returned to Long Island late Friday night with both facing charges of breach of peace, criminal trespass and voyeurism. Reyes swore that he would fight the charges and hold the “corrupt” Fahey accountable “even if it means moving to Connecticut.”

Reyes immediately set up a new GoFundMe campaign for his fans to donate to his legal defense. The campaign made $111.00 in donations for Sunday. His Generic “Fight Against Tyranny & Corruption” GoFundMe campaign took the crowd sourcing victory for the day with $286.00 in new donations.

No other campaigns received donations for Sunday’s results.

Reyes’ livestream has been seen 147,653 times, had 6285 concurrent viewers at peak, took in $140.00 in super chat donations, and received 4839 likes as of press time.

The YouTube has promised to release his “full footage” of the incident on Sunday.

Update: A previous version of this story indicated that there was an active protective order in place at the time of arrest. Reyes has since denied this and that the protective order was put in place after the arrest on an emergency basis. We have updated this story based on that new information.
