Because Floyd did not negotiate his bond before surrendering, he will have to remain in the Fulton County Jail until he has a bond hearing.

There is no word on why Floyd did not receive a bond like the other defendants.

As of Thursday afternoon, 11 of the defendants have turned themselves in at the jail, including former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and former New York City mayor and attorney for former Pres. Donald Trump Rudy Giuliani.
