Minneapolis BLM Activist Is Arrested in Waukesha for Threatening Judge in Police Shooting Trial
A Minneapolis activist has been arrested in Waukesha, Wisconsin for intimidating the judge in the Kim Potter trial.
Former police officer Potter is facing manslaughter charges in the April shooting of Daunte Wright.
The activist, Cortez Rice, 32, has been charged with felony harassment with aggravated violations — tampering with a juror or retaliating against a judicial officer, according to a report from KSTP. He is reportedly a relative of George Floyd.
Rice is currently in the Waukesha County Jail awaiting extradition back to Minnesota.
It is currently unclear why Rice is in Waukesha, but the area has been in the headlines due to the deadly Christmas parade massacre — which was committed by a supporter of Black Lives Matter.
