Overview
- Secret Service agents detained Ryan Fournier and Jordan Daley outside their CityCenterDC residence and recovered a counterfeit Secret Service badge from their apartment.
- Fournier was taken into custody for allegedly violating a court order and faces outstanding domestic‑violence–related charges, while investigators continue to probe the impersonation allegations against Daley.
- A tip to investigators warned that Daley had used the fake badge to pose as an agent and boasted that the pair planned to bring guns to the Freedom250 event on the White House South Lawn.
- Court affidavits allege Daley used the badge to intimidate people, including putting it on an Uber console and ordering drivers to run red lights and flashing it to gain VIP access at clubs.
- The men offer conflicting accounts — Fournier says he was cooperating with authorities as an informant and Daley says Fournier routinely introduced him as an agent — and federal investigators are reviewing those claims as possible criminal charges move forward.
