Members of the Rockville City Police Department make an appearance in recently released February 2023 bodycam footage of Donald Trump presidential campaign aide Harrison Floyd.

After FBI agents arrived at Floyd’s Rockville apartment in an attempt to serve Floyd a subpoena in the federal investigation of Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election, Floyd called Rockville City Police, stating two armed men accosted him. In the video, Floyd tells Rockville officers that he considered wrestling an FBI agent’s gun away from him. 

Floyd allegedly assaulted the FBI agents, but the confrontation was not caught on film. Floyd was also charged with assaulting a police officer in Greenbelt about a week after the incident.
