Floyd Wayne Turner was held in Seattle’s King County Jail during 1967 proceedings over political protest and alleged flag desecration.

A July 24, 1967 report by Louise Crowley in New Left Notes described Floyd Wayne Turner as confined in King County Jail during a Seattle flag-desecration prosecution. It reported a June 2 trial before Judge Evans D. Manolides, $1,000 bail and a $500 fine, and discussed six-month sentencing. Crowley also alleged punitive solitary confinement. The report does not establish his precise first admission, release or actual total time served.
