The Fort Worth native is in prison for attacking police despite evidence showing otherwise.
A former US Marine and University of North Texas student, Trevor Reed at his sentencing hearing July 30, 2020, at Moscow s Golovinsky District Court. The court found him guilty and sentenced him to 9 years in a prison colony.

Authorities say he attacked officers as they took him to the police station, which he denies. U.S. officials and Reed s family and lawyer say the charges are baseless.(Vyacheslav Prokofyev / Vyacheslav Prokofyev/TASS)
DAYTONA BEACH Almost one year ago, City Manager Jim Chisholm alerted city commissioners that he intended to retire in March 2021.
Now it looks like Chisholm will be sticking around at least until June 1 since commissioners are behind schedule in their process to choose a successor.
City Commissioner Stacy Cantu blames the delay on the private consulting firm the city hired last fall to search for city manager candidates. After unleashing a scathing rebuke of Slavin Management Consultants during Wednesday night s City Commission meeting, Cantu called for the firm s immediate termination. They did not meet any deadlines, Cantu said during the meeting. (Slavin) has not met any requirements on this contract. Nothing.
