Daley's attorney Chris Scileppi issued a statement on behalf of the detained individual and his mother.
“Mr. Daley and his mother were both detained by law enforcement while the search warrants were being executed. Neither Mr. Daley nor his mother were arrested in connection to this case or any other.
