Brian Higgins

Brian Higgins is a Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agent who was among the group that moved from the Waterfall Bar to 34 Fairview Road in the early hours of January 29, 2022. He had an ongoing flirtatious text relationship with Karen Read and was personally connected to Canton law enforcement through his professional relationship with Police Chief Berkowitz. His testimony spans his movements that night, his subsequent presence at Canton PD, a 2:22 a.m. phone call with Brian Albert, and his destruction of his personal cell phone — including removal of the SIM card and disposal across separate dumpsters on a military base — after selectively extracting only two text threads from the device.
