Ryan Fournier, the co-founder of Students for Trump has been arrested.
He was arrested in North Carolina last week on accusations that he struck a woman in the head with a handgun, records show.
Fournier, 27, allegedly grabbed the woman by her right arm and struck her in the forehead with a 9MM Sig Sauer P229 pistol, according to the Johnson County magistrate.
The victim identified by Axios as Fournierβs girlfriend suffered a minor injury in the alleged attack.
Fournier was taken into custody on Nov. 21 and faces two misdemeanor charges of assault on a female and assault with a deadly weapon.
He was released on a $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Dec. 18.
Fournier co-founded the youth political group during former President Donald Trumpβs 2016 presidential campaign when he was a student at Campbell University.
Fournier now leads a group called Radical Alert, which proclaims to be βexposingβ hate that has βtaken over American college campuses.β
