Washington police arrested Students for Trump co-founder Ryan Fournier, 30, on Tuesday and charged him with simple assault and attempted threats to do bodily harm after an alleged incident at a luxury apartment complex.
Court documents say a woman visiting Fournier found him apparently intoxicated Monday night; she told police he punched her in the face two or three times and threatened to kill people there.
A roommate told investigators Fournier also shouted threats involving a lamp and a handheld vacuum, and called 911 after the woman appeared injured and fled to a bathroom saying, “Don’t let him stab me.”
Fournier entered a not guilty plea at arraignment on misdemeanor charges; a judge imposed a pretrial no-contact order and set a status hearing for July 7.
The arrest follows a 2023 North Carolina domestic violence case against Fournier that was later dismissed, adding to scrutiny of the conservative commentator and podcast host.
