Trevor Reed was detained in Russia in 2019 on charges of assaulting a Russian police officer. Later on he was sentenced to nine years in a Russian prison.

Reed and his family have maintained their innocence, and the United States government has declared him unlawfully imprisoned.

The 30-year-old made news lately when he went on a second hunger strike in prison to protest Russian authorities’ treatment of him, claiming that he was not being treated for indications of potential TB and instead was being held in solitary confinement.

At a hearing earlier this month, a Russian court agreed to postpone Reed’s appeal, and he was expected to remain in prison until the case was forwarded to a lower court.

On Wednesday, the family revealed that Reed had been released after being wrongly jailed for 985 days in an unexpected but welcome change of events.

Reed was detained in Russia in 2016 while visiting his lover Lina Tsybulnik. Authorities apprehended him in Moscow after leaving a vehicle while inebriated on a public roadway.

Reed allegedly grabbed an officer’s arm while on his way to the police station, forcing the police car to veer into another lane. Reed’s parents and attorneys dispute this assertion.

According to the Russian Foreign Ministry, Reed was exchanged for imprisoned pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko at an undisclosed European location.

In 2011, Yaroshenko was also sentenced to 20 years in prison for attempting to smuggle more than $100 million in cocaine into the United States.

The Reeds praised a plethora of local and federal political leaders and diplomatic personnel for pushing for their son and assisting in obtaining his release in a statement sent through their spokeswoman.

They explicitly praised Biden for “choosing to bring Trevor home,” claiming that it was a life-saving decision.

Reed’s homecoming, according to Biden, demonstrates his administration’s commitment to returning home Americans taken prisoner abroad.

Talking to Trevor Reed’s Wikipedia, he was born in Hood County, Texas, in 1994. He is 28 years of age now. Trevor earned his bachelor’s degree from the University of North Texas. In the same way, he is a practicing Christian.

Joey Reed is his father’s name, and Paula Reed is his mother’s name. Reed also has Alina as a girlfriend.

On the other hand, many others are curious as to whether he has a wife, considering that he allegedly traveled to Moscow to meet his lover.

On the other hand, his family has remained silent about his girlfriend’s personal life.
