Former FBI agent Andrew Reyes, 30, has been arrested and charged with willfully depriving an individual of their constitutional rights and making false statements after allegedly hitting a pedestrian with his government-issued vehicle in Brooklyn on February 3. Reyes, who was driving against traffic with his emergency lights on, struck the man, dragged him to a bench, and left the scene without providing aid or reporting the incident. He later denied the incident to investigators. Reyes pleaded not guilty through his lawyer, Nora Hirozawa, and was released on a $100,000 bond co-signed by his parents. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison. The case is being tried in federal court due to Reyes' role as an FBI agent and his alleged cover-up attempt.
Prosecutors had requested a mental health evaluation for Reyes, citing his alleged cover-up attempt and an alarming comment he made about a gun during an interview. However, the judge declined the request, stating that it was not warranted. Reyes, who is no longer with the FBI, is due back in court on December 2.
