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.
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.
'WHO THE **** 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 Cliffgard Lee, a police chaplain, and Trevian Kutti, Kanye West's former publicist - of pressuring poll worker Ruby Freeman into falsely saying she committed election fraud.

Why didn’t he ask for a bond?
A legal blunder, or a protest statement?
Freedom isn’t free in a fascist country.
When will people realize we are in CWII?
BANANA REPUBLIC RUN BY EVIL MONKEYS!!
He’s a black guy who likes Trump. He has to have an example made out of him.
I assume he's trying to raise the stakes. Good for him for having the courage.
“body-slammed an agent”
dude’s a badass
Kudos to Harrison Floyd. You should have done more to that agent than shove him.
A Black man who supports Trump railroaded by Jerk Smith and a fat stupid black female Georgia DA.
News max reporter on. Scene said Floyd yelled at him about no bond before he went inside the courthouse.
???
Paging BLM.
I have been screaming it from the rooftops.
Whenever they do, they’d be wrong.
Yep, black men are drifting away from the dem 0lantation.
“They sic the slave catchers on them.”
Which in this case is another slave.,,the negress Fulton County DA.
Political prisoners in the USA.
Those stalinistas are a vindictive bunch.
Greta is very upset about this whole mess. She always defends the accused esp if the prosecutors overstep the law.
Hope everyone is well stocked up.
