True Crime
Andrew Reyes pleaded not guilty, the Associated Press reported, after he was charged in a Brooklyn crash from his time as an FBI agent.
USA TODAY, the New York Post, Gothamist, and the Associated Press text on The Seattle Times do not print the same clock, the same May question, or the same account of Thursday's court appearance. The Post says the man survived and that court papers did not reveal the extent of his injuries. The same Post story quotes the government calling him severely injured. He is not named here.

A not-guilty plea, a statement that he would plead not guilty, a lawyer who declined to comment, and a lawyer the Post could not name are not the same posture. Fired, no longer working, and a former agent whose departure date is not printed are not the same employment line. More than nine years, and 2023, are not the same start. The charges are what the indictment alleges.
The Associated Press text on The Seattle Times, by Michael R. Sisak and Christopher Weber, prints Nov. 5, 2026, at 11:35 a.m. and an update at 2:07 p.m., with no time zone on either stamp. The apnews.com page did not load. That text reported that through his lawyer, Andrew Reyes, 30, pleaded not guilty to charges of willfully depriving an individual of his constitutional rights while acting under color of law and making false statements. It reported he was released on a $100,000 bond co-signed by his parents, whom he lives with, and that he is due back in court on Dec. 2. The page does not print a year on Dec. 2. It reported he was arrested Thursday morning and that if convicted he faces up to 10 years in prison. Thursday, on a Nov. 5 story, is Nov. 5. It reported prosecutors had sought a mental health evaluation, citing what it called the alleged coverup attempt and an alarming comment he made about a gun during a law enforcement interview, and that a judge said one was not warranted. It reported Assistant U.S. Attorney Gilbert Rein told Magistrate Judge Clay Kaminsky that toward the end of questioning Reyes asked what an investigator would do if he grabbed the investigator's gun. It quoted Kaminsky, "Just out of the blue?" and Rein, "Yes, unprompted." It reported Nora Hirozawa said she had not reviewed a recording of the interview but characterized the remark as an "offhand" comment, albeit a "very odd" one, and that Kaminsky agreed the comment was odd but declined to add a mental health evaluation to bail conditions that require Reyes to surrender his passport and limit travel to New York and New Jersey. It reported he teared up as his parents spoke at the arraignment, that Hirozawa handed him tissues and placed a hand on his back, that he was brought in from a holding area in an untucked button-down shirt and Under Armour jogging pants, and that he declined to comment as he left with his lawyer and parents, clutching release paperwork. The parents are not named. USA TODAY, by Natalie Neysa Alund, published Nov. 5, 2026, at 3:59 p.m. ET, reported he was arrested the morning of Nov. 5 and charged with violating the man's civil rights as an FBI agent by moving him and driving off without getting help, according to an indictment filed in the Eastern District of New York, and that he also faces charges of giving false statements to investigators about the crash. It reported the indictment was four pages, filed Nov. 2 and unsealed Nov. 5, and that it was not immediately known when he was due in court. It reported Federal Public Defender Nora Hirozawa told the Associated Press that Reyes would be pleading not guilty, and that she declined further comment. Would be pleading, at 3:59 p.m. ET, and pleaded, on the Associated Press text, are not the same tense. USA TODAY does not print a bond, a Dec. 2 date, a judge's name, or a 10-year maximum. Gothamist, by Charles Lane, published Nov. 5, 2026, at 2:39 p.m. ET, reported Reyes, 30, of Brooklyn, was arrested Thursday morning, that he was scheduled to be arraigned Thursday afternoon before a federal magistrate judge, that his attorney declined to comment, and that if convicted he faces up to 10 years. The attorney is not named on that page. The New York Post, by Ben Kochman, published Nov. 5, 2026, at 3:04 p.m. ET, reported he was set to make his first appearance in Brooklyn federal court Thursday afternoon, and that it was not immediately clear which attorney was representing him. It reported he faces up to 10 years if convicted on charges of willfully depriving an individual of his constitutional rights while acting under color of law and making false statements. A scheduled arraignment, a first appearance described as still ahead, an attorney who declined to comment, an attorney the Post could not identify, a statement that he would plead not guilty, and a not-guilty plea are not the same account of Thursday afternoon. Violating civil rights, on USA TODAY and Gothamist, and willfully depriving an individual of constitutional rights while acting under color of law, on the Post and the Associated Press text, are not the same charge wording. Giving false statements, lying to investigators, and making false statements are not the same charge wording. Of Brooklyn is Gothamist's residence line. USA TODAY, the Post, and the Associated Press text read here do not print a city of residence. A plea is not a verdict.
The crash is not one clock and not one map. USA TODAY reported it was about 6:20 a.m. ET on Feb. 3 in Brooklyn, that Reyes drove an FBI-issued Chevrolet Impala through a red light with the emergency lights on, that the car struck a male pedestrian, injuring him and knocking him unconscious, and that Reyes dragged him from the street across a sidewalk and put him on a bench. It reported he returned to the street, grabbed the man's bag, placed it on the bench beside him, and drove off, and that he did not seek medical attention for the man, alert medical authorities, or report the crash to the FBI. Gothamist reported the crash was around 6:20 a.m. on Feb. 3 at Ocean Parkway and Beverley Road in Kensington, that he was driving the Chevrolet Impala north in the southbound lane of Ocean Parkway with the emergency lights on, and that he went through a red light at Beverley Road and hit a man in a crosswalk. It reported he dragged the man from the street across the sidewalk and onto a bench, went back for the bag and set it next to him, and drove off with the emergency lights still on, and that he did not call for medical help or report the crash to the FBI. The Post reported he fled the early-morning Feb. 3 Kensington crash in an agency-issued Chevy Impala blasting emergency lights, and that he was driving against traffic with the emergency lights on at Ocean Parkway and Beverley Road at around 6 a.m. when he rammed into a man crossing the street. It reported the man was knocked out cold after falling to the pavement, that Reyes dragged him from the street and across the sidewalk to a nearby bench, and that he retrieved the bag and placed it next to him. The Post's paragraphs read here do not print a red light. Around 6 a.m., on the Post, and about 6:20 a.m. ET, on USA TODAY, and around 6:20 a.m., on Gothamist, are not the same clock. Chevy, and Chevrolet, are not the same spelling. The Associated Press text reported he blew through a red light and struck the man as he was crossing the street on Feb. 3 in Brooklyn, that he dragged a pedestrian across a snowy sidewalk, and that he had the emergency lights activated as he sped against traffic on six-lane Ocean Parkway south of Prospect Park, then dragged the unconscious man out of the street and placed the man and his bag on a bench. Snowy is on that text. It is not on USA TODAY, Gothamist, or the Post. Six-lane Ocean Parkway south of Prospect Park is on that text. Beverley Road and Kensington are on Gothamist and the Post. They are not on USA TODAY or on the Associated Press text read here. North in the southbound lane, on Gothamist, and against traffic, on the Post and the Associated Press text, and no wrong-way sentence, on USA TODAY, are not the same driving account. A crosswalk, on Gothamist, and a male pedestrian, on USA TODAY, and a man crossing the street, on the Post and the Associated Press text, are not the same wording. Placing the man and his bag on a bench, on the Associated Press text, and dragging the man onto a bench and then placing the bag beside him, on the other three, are not the same sequence. The man is not named on any of these pages.
The May account is not one question. USA TODAY reported that during a May 1 interview with the Department of Justice's Office of Inspector General, when asked whether he had ever hit anyone with a car, Reyes falsely stated that he had not, according to the indictment. Gothamist reported that on May 1, agents from that office asked whether he had ever hit someone with his FBI car and not reported it, and that he said he had not. The Post reported he claimed in a May interview that he had never hit someone in his FBI vehicle and failed to report it. It does not print May 1. The Associated Press text reported both that he denied he had ever hit a person with his FBI vehicle and not reported it, and that on May 1 he denied involvement in any hit-and-run. Ever hit anyone with a car, and ever hit someone with his FBI car and not reported it, and never hit someone in his FBI vehicle and failed to report it, and denied involvement in any hit-and-run, are not the same question. A May interview, and May 1, are not the same date. The job is not one sentence either. The Post's body says he was arrested Thursday morning after being canned amid an investigation into the episode. A caption on the same page says he was fired from his post in the FBI's New York field office after the episode, prosecutors say. Canned, and fired, are not the same word. Amid an investigation, and after the episode, are not the same timing. USA TODAY reported that a news release from the U.S. attorney's office said Reyes is no longer working for the FBI, and that at the time of the crash he was assigned to the New York Field Office, where he had worked since around 2023, according to the indictment. Gothamist reported prosecutors described him as a former agent but did not say when he left, and that court records say he had been an FBI agent since about 2023 and was assigned to the New York Field Office. The Associated Press text reported he is no longer with the FBI, that the FBI did not immediately respond to inquiries about his employment history, that Hirozawa said in court he worked for the agency for more than nine years and has since been working at a home remodeling business, and that his indictment said he became a special agent in 2023. The Post reported he joined the FBI in 2023. Fired, canned, no longer working, no longer with the FBI, and a former agent whose departure date is not printed are not the same employment line. More than nine years with the agency, joined in 2023, worked since around 2023, an agent since about 2023, and became a special agent in 2023 are not the same tenure. Around, about, and in are not the same precision. Field Office, and field office, are not the same capitalization.
What happened to the man is not one finding. The Post reported the victim survived, and that court papers did not reveal the extent of his injuries. The same story quotes the government leaving him "severely injured and unattended." Survived, and severely injured, are both on that page. They are not the same sentence. USA TODAY's lede says the incident left a man severely injured. Gothamist reported the court papers do not say how the victim is doing now, and that a release described him as severely injured. The Associated Press text says the crash left him severely injured, that he has not been publicly identified, and that he was not in court. How he is doing now, and an extent the court papers did not reveal, and severely injured, are not the same account. This story does not add an injury the pages do not print. The prosecutor's name is not one form. USA TODAY prints Joseph Nocella, U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York. Gothamist prints Joseph Nocella Jr. The Post prints Brooklyn US Attorney Joe Nocella. The Associated Press text prints U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella. Joseph, Joe, and Joseph Jr. are not the same form. Jr. is on Gothamist. It is not on USA TODAY, the Post, or the Associated Press text read here. Each of those pages carries his line that the alleged conduct demonstrated a shocking disregard for human life and his sworn oath to uphold the law. The Associated Press text says that while local prosecutors typically handle alleged hit-and-runs, Reyes's role as an FBI agent, the government vehicle, and the alleged lying led to the case being tried in federal court rather than state court. Being tried, in that sentence, and an indictment unsealed Thursday with a not-guilty plea, are not the same stage. A charge is not a conviction. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

WJLA says Judge Neal Kravitz found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. NBC4 says he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
Voluntary manslaughter while armed, and voluntary manslaughter, and manslaughter, are not the same count. A bench outside Father O'Connell Hall, and a park on the campus, and a small plaza by that hall, and the 600 block of Alumni Lane, are not the same place. Brookland-CUA Metro, and Brookland Metro, and Brookland-Catholic University Metro, are not the same station line. Snapchat messages, and a message, and an urgent message, are not the same account. Cash App, and cash app, and $300 with no app named, are not the same line. Judge Kravitz accepted the plea and found Jaime Macedo guilty of voluntary manslaughter while armed. A 12-to-15-year range is not the sentence. Sentencing has not happened.
