Summary
Friday’s arrests outside CityCenterDC swept up pro-Trump influencer Ryan Fournier and roommate Jordan Daley on separate allegations after agents moved in as they left for a Washington club.
A tipster had warned that Daley was posing as a Secret Service agent with a counterfeit badge and had talked about bringing guns to a UFC event on the White House South Lawn 48 hours later.
Court papers say agents had investigated Daley for months; when he was handcuffed, he allegedly told them, “The badge is upstairs,” and they found the fake credential in the apartment.
Fournier was arrested for allegedly violating a court order by texting an ex-girlfriend after his May 26 arrest on accusations he assaulted her and threatened her with a lamp.
Investigators say the pair used the fake-protection story to impress or intimidate people around Washington, from Uber drivers to strip-club staff and other right-wing influencers.
