The lone defendant in former President Donald Trump's Georgia election interference case who was held in the bed bug-ridden Fulton County Jail was granted bond Tuesday evening, five days following his arrest.
Fulton County Superior Judge Scott McAfee approved defendant Harrison Floyd's consent bond order Tuesday afternoon, setting it at $100,000. He is the only one in the 19-defendant case who did not negotiate a bond amount before surrendering last week.Floyd surrendered to authorities on Thursday without an attorney, choosing to forego legal help due to the high cost involved, his co-counsel told the Washington Examiner. Prosecutors say the 39-year-old former U.S.
"This is a serious jail," Kachouroff said, adding that the Justice Department opened a civil investigation into the facility in July."There have been three or four deaths in the past couple of years. Just one was a stabbing death where they didn't get to him for like two hours. He bled out. A guy died in there from ... bed bugs, of all things. He'd been bitten so many times.
Floyd, who is based in Maryland, is also facing a misdemeanor simple assault charge tied to an alleged assault on an FBI agent who was delivering a subpoena to his home, which also involved special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into whether Trump attempted to subvert the 2020 election.
