Jean-Denis Boudreault, a 43-year-old father, is currently on trial on charges of repeatedly obstructing or intimidating police officers, harassing them and providing false documents.
In this case, he was first arrested in September at his home in Val-des-Lacs with several weapons. The false king of Tayos was quickly released, but had to respect several conditions, including a ban on communicating with the police or no longer using a document with his false identity as “King Regis Lucius I.”

Death threats
Sergeant Ève Brochu-Joubert states that Jean-Denis Boudreault even threatened to kill SQ police officers at the time. The latter had arrested the Quebecer in July 2023 when he was driving a car with a false Tayos license plate and a false driver’s license from the same imaginary state.
Below is an excerpt from the arrest between the SQ and the “King” of Tayos on July 29th:
“Under these release conditions, he should not refer to the Sûreté du Québec on social networks. He was therefore arrested for this administrative offense,” explains the SQ spokesman.
The Journal actually found a press release from the “Kingdom” of Tayos dated October 3rd. In it, Jean-Denis Boudreault falsely mentions that his imaginary country has brought charges against the SQ.

“For the next steps, the Tayos courts are now ready to consider the criminal charges brought against the Sûreté du Québec and Garage Beaudoin for the theft of Régis’ vehicle last July. They are also prepared to initiate a judicial review in accordance with the decisions of the Quebec Supreme Court,” the fake document reads.
Arrest warrant issued
According to Jean-Denis Boudreault’s legal file, he committed his crime on October 3rd.
