Arrest of Ryan Fournier, Co-founder of Students for Trump

According to court documents, Ryan Fournier, the co-founder of the group Students for Trump, was arrested in North Carolina earlier this month. He has been charged with one count of assault with a deadly weapon and one count of assault on a female.

The Johnston County Sheriff's Office stated in court documents that Fournier, 27, allegedly grabbed a woman by her right arm and struck her with a pistol on November 21.

Fournier has posted bond and his next court appearance is scheduled for December 18. He has waived his right to a court-assigned attorney, as mentioned in the court documents.

Ryan Fournier co-founded Students for Trump in 2015 during his freshman year at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North Carolina. He currently serves as the chair of the group and is also the executive director of Red Alert, a conservative activist group.

CBS News has made multiple attempts to contact Fournier for comment, but there has been no response so far.
