After he missed Friday morning’s sentencing hearing, Daniel Floyd provided his attorney a letter from a Coeur d’Alene orthopedic surgeon allegedly verifying that he’d undergone a medical procedure as the hearing was taking place at 9 a.m., and he’s scheduled to find out March 5 if the third time is charmed at a hearing to quash the no-bail warrant Judge Susie Jensen issued for failure to appear.
Shortly after the brief hearing concluded, a former girlfriend who had fled the Old Addie Road home she shared with Floyd off and on after she found him at a bench in his shop making pipe bombs April 4, 2024, called him, hoping to find out where he was. He was too canny to fall for that but she could tell he was driving indicating to her that the “emergency surgery” Floyd’s attorney attributed his client’s absence to hadn’t been all that serious.
And though the hearing to quash a $100,000 warrant for failure to appear after he missed a court date September 4, 2024, was based on a different malady, she felt a sense of Deja vu at Friday’s hearing, which she attended via zoom … as Floyd had cancer when his bond was quashed after changed his plea to possessing bombs to guilty November 20, 2004, and was released on his own recognizance.
After his initial arrest, he was offered a choice: post $100,000 bond and be able to stay in his home, or post $10,000 bond and stay away from Old Addie Road. He posted the lesser bond in June.
As of this writing, Floyd remains free, his latest warrant not served.
This man is dangerous. How many times will the judge allow motions from his scumbag attorney? Also, the bomb making charges are a violation of federal law. When will the US Marshals or the ATF get involved? Why no reward?
Yeah, another case of “we didn’t see that coming”.
