Parents of Trevor Reed, former US Marine and Russian prisoner, call for son's release
The parents of the former U.S. Marine jailed in Russia are calling for his release ahead of the Geneva summit where leaders Vladimir Putin and President Joe Biden will be meeting on Wednesday.
Trevor Reed, 29, has been placed in a Russian prison for nearly two years. The couple are hoping that Biden and Putin come to an agreement at the Geneva summit on Wednesday to have Reed released.

Trevor Reed was convicted in the Golovinsky District Court in Moscow on July 30, 2020, according to a background memo received from media consultant Jonathan Franks. He was attending a birthday party in 2019 with Tsybulnik when he became intoxicated.
On their way home the next morning, Reed became nauseated and got out of the car on a busy street. After the police arrived, they told Tsybulnik that they would take Reed to the police station to figure out what to do with him. She followed the police car to the station, and the police said she could come back around 9 a.m. after he sobered up.
According to the police, Reed had grabbed the arm of a police officer driving the vehicle to the station and swerved the car to enter the oncoming lane. He was charged with assault, but over the course of the trial, video evidence shows that the police car never swerved, according to Joey Reed.
