We recently reported that DeAndre Harris — the black man who was brutally attacked at a Charlottesville white supremacist rally —
had a warrant out for his arrest and that he had planned to turn himself in. 

Harris has now done just that, according to the Associated Press. After turning himself in to Charlottesville police, Harris was released on an unsecured bond. Harris' attorney maintains that Harris did nothing wrong, and that there is no probable cause to charge his client. 

The warrant for Harris' arrest was issued with a felony charge for unlawful wounding. If convicted, Harris would face up to five years and prison and would have to pay a $2,500 fine, Al Jazeera reports. 

As was clear on the viral video of Harris' beating, the 20-year-old didn't injure himself. 

This has led critics to condemn the Charlottesville police for going after a person many believe to be a victim, not a criminal.

Jeff Fogel, who is running to become Charlottesville's Commonwealth Attorney, said that Charlottesville police have "a lot to explain," and has complained that police haven't been as quick to punish violent alt-right protesters as they have Harris.

"It is unthinkable that a young black community member would be charged with a felony while all but two of his white assailants are still at large," said Charlottesville activist group CVille Solidarity in a statement. 

"And even then, it took a national campaign for the Charlottesville Police Department to finally bring charges against those two of his attackers," the statement continued.

That campaign has been successful. This week, Jacob Scott Goodwin was arrested on a charge of malicious wounding in connection with the Harris beating per AP.

Goodwin is the third man arrested for being in the group that left Harris with many severe injuries, including a fractured wrist, head laceration, knee injury and several abrasions and contusions on his body. The other two men arrested in connection to the attack are being held without bond.
