Miami New Times.Reyes, 36, who has led Miami’s local FOP chapter — which negotiates police contracts with the City of Miami on behalf of the union’s members — since 2018, informed his union that he was suspended following a complaint from an anonymous party.“I was [relieved of duty] based on an anonymous complaint,” he wrote in an email to FOP members. “I cannot go into details as it is an open investigation, I will stand strong and tell you my brothers and sisters that I was the victim of a crime, and I am once again being victimized by some of our own people.”According to the Tallahassee police report, Reyes met his date, described as a “young Hispanic male,” at a Hampton Inn & Suites hotel while Reyes was visiting Tallahassee.

Reyes confirmed to the New Times that he is the other party in the report, which has been heavily redacted to protect the identities of Reyes and his hookup partner.The date allegedly met Reyes at the hotel, entering the room while Reyes was turned around to conceal his face, and the sexual encounter went poorly.

The date told Tallahassee police officers that he pretended to ejaculate by spitting on Reyes’ back and took Reyes’ wallet before leaving because he was afraid Reyes would “mess with him.”But Reyes told police that when the date found his MPD badge and law enforcement credentials inside the pilfered wallet, the date began sending him messages on Grindr trying to “blackmail” him.The date claimed that Reyes had agreed to let him go on a “shopping spree” if he returned the wallet.
