Former state police sergeant arrested following investigation into viral Youtube confrontation

GROTON, Conn. (WFSB) – A former state police sergeant has been arrested following a confrontation in front of his home. On July 11, a Youtuber and his cameraman parked a digital billboard outside former state police sergeant Brian Fahey’s home in Groton. The billboard displayed a previous interaction the Youtuber, Sean Paul Reyes, had with Fahey in 2021 at the state police headquarters in Middletown. Reyes had gone to the home to confront Fahey over his alleged abuse of overtime. In the video, Fahey is seen grabbing a gun and spitting on Reyes. The incident was investigated by the Office of the State’s Attorney Judicial District of Windham. As a result of their investigation, 53-year-old Brian Fahey was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct. He was released on a court-set promise to appear for arraignment at Danielson Superior Court on September 3. Fahey was placed on unpaid administrative leave while the investigation unfolded. He later retired from the police force. Police said a mugshot was not provided because this is a misdemeanor crime.
