Harrison Floyd, one of the 19 people accused of interfering with the election and being held in Fulton County, has been released from jail. He was the only one to stay overnight after turning himself in to the authorities last week. This information comes from the inmate database.
Floyd was taken into custody last Thursday and stayed at the facility for six days. He then paid bail and was released on Wednesday.
At his first court hearing last Friday, the judge, Emily Richardson, refused to give him bail. She said this was because of his past crimes and the possibility that he might try to run away.
I’m not someone who would run away, ma’am. I arrived earlier than the president, Floyd stated during the meeting.
On Tuesday, Judge Scott McAfee made a decision about Floyd’s bond. He said Floyd has to pay $100,000 as a guarantee that he will come back to court. This is the same as what the other 18 people involved in the case have to do. There are also some other rules that Floyd has to follow. He has to meet with someone from the court once a month before the trial starts. He is not allowed to talk to any of the people involved in the case without his lawyer being there. He also can’t do anything to threaten or stop the people who saw what happened from telling the truth in court.

Floyd is one of 19 people who are accused of trying to change the outcome of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia. This includes former President Donald Trump. They are all facing multiple charges.
Floyd is being accused of trying to influence a witness and asking them to give false statements and writings. He allegedly tried to do this with Ruby Freeman, who works at the Fulton County election.
