What did Sean Daley do? One of six men arrested in connection with attack on NHL announcer Paul Bissonnette found with fake military ID

Sean Daley, a man from Lubbock, Texas, and one of the alleged attackers of NHL announcer and former Phoenix Coyotes hockey player Paul Bissonnette, was reportedly found with a fraudulent military ID at the time of his arrest.

According to multiple reports, the former hockey player was attacked by a group of men at the Houston restaurant, located near McDonald Drive and Scottsdale Road, on Sunday, November 24. The assailants arrested during the incident were identified as Sean Daley, Henry Mesker, John Carroll, William Carroll, Danny Bradley and Edward Jennings.

When officers searched Daley’s wallet during his arrest, they reportedly found a fake military ID. According to Arizona’s family, Daley admitted the ID was fake but provided no further insight. It is unclear whether Daley, who is reportedly from Lubbock, Texas, was in the military.

However, a Reddit user unearthed an Air Force document in which a man named Sean Daley was dishonorably discharged in 2021 and sentenced to 24 months in prison. The name in the Air Force document, Sean M. Daley, matches the name listed in the recent arrest records.

Sean Daley is accused of kicking Paul Bissonnette in the head during an altercation

Paul Bissonnette was dining at a restaurant in Houston when he saw several drunken men, including Sean Daley, arguing with the restaurant manager, who refused to over-serve them in the restaurant. The men, who were asked to leave, reportedly became combative and began insulting staff, prompting Bissonnette to intervene.

When the former hockey player grabbed the man by the arm before warning him to stop harassing the staff, the verbal altercation quickly escalated into a physical confrontation that culminated in the parking lot.

Arrest documents show that surveillance footage cited in Arizona Family shows three or four men, including Sean Daley, attacking the NHL announcer outside the restaurant. Daley reportedly held him down and kicked his head and neck. Bissonnette managed to evade his attackers and was later hospitalized.

The six men were later arrested and charged. According to AZ Family, Sean M. Daley was charged with aggravated assault, forgery and disorderly conduct.

Henry Mesker was charged with assault and disorderly conduct. Mesker was previously arrested in 2021 in Lubbock, Texas, for evading arrest and public intoxication.

John G. Carroll is facing a charge of disorderly conduct. William J. Carroll was booked on charges of two counts of assault and two counts of disorderly conduct.

Danny Bradley and Edward J. Jennings were charged with assault and disorderly conduct.
