Former Black Voices for Trump director Harrison Floyd was held in jail without bond Thursday in Fulton County, Georgia Floyd was charged with racketeering, conspiracy to solicit false statements and influencing witnesses. He is accused of pressuring poll worker Ruby Freeman to confess to voter fraud crimes she claims didn't commit, alongside a former publicist of Kanye West.
Floyd was the first of the 19 Fulton County defendants to be held in jail without bond.
Floyd, 39, turned himself into the Fulton County, Georgia jail Thursday afternoon, after District Attorney Fani Willis gave former President Donald Trump and the other 18 co-conspirators in her election interference case until noon on Friday to show up.
He didn't negotiate a bond so remained in custody after being charged with racketeering, conspiracy to solicit false statements and influencing witnesses.
Floyd surrendered just hours before Trump prepared to turn himself in, and braced to become the first former president in history to pose for a mugshot.
Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows also surrendered in Georgia on Thursday and was released on a $100,000 bond.
Earlier this year, Floyd was charged with attacking an FBI agent, who was working on Special Counsel Jack Smith's parallel probe into 2020 election interference by Trump and his allies, The Washington Post reported Wednesday.
An affidavit says Floyd body-slammed an agent who arrived at his Rockville, Maryland home to subpoena him to appear before a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C.
The former director of Black Voices for Trump, Harrison Floyd, was the first of the 19 Fulton County defendants to be held in jail without bond.
'WHO THE F*** DO YOU THINK YOU ARE,' Floyd allegedly screamed, the affidavit says, describing that Floyd was standing 'chest to chest' with the agent after knocking him backward with his body.
In Georgia, Floyd is accused - alongside Stephen Clifford Lee, a police chaplain, and Trevian Kutti, Kanye West's former publicist - of pressuring poll worker Ruby Freeman into saying she committed election fraud.
Freeman and her daughter Shaye Moss - who gave tearful testimony to the House select committee on January 6 - were the subjects of a conspiracy theory echoed by Trump and his allies.
Freeman and Moss were accused of pulling phony mail-in ballots from suitcases while tabulating the count on Election Day at Atlanta's State Farm Arena.
