Harrison Floyd mugshot released by Fulton County Sheriff’s Office.

Harrison Floyd is a founder of something called “Black Voices for Trump.” Last week, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, per a Grand Jury, indicted Floyd among eighteen others, including Trump, in the Georgia election fraud, yes fraud, case.

However, Floyd was arrested earlier this year for allegedly assaulting an FBI agent while being served with a subpoena in Trump’s earlier federal election fraud case.

Pursuant to DA Willis’ order two weeks ago that all defendants surrender by 12:00 noon tomorrow, Floyd appeared on foot just outside Atlanta’s Fulton County jail Thursday. At this writing, Floyd is the sole (soul?) defendant to do so before negotiating bail in advance.

The Fulton County Sheriff’s office confirmed that Floyd is being detained because he has no prior bond agreement — or cash in hand. (And, ominously, the FBI has put a hold on his release for his “activities” as described below).

Again, most of the other eighteen co-defendants have reached bail-bond arrangements with District Attorney Fani Willis’ office, allowing them to be released pre-trial under very certain and very specific conditions.
