A Florida man is behind bars after a physical altercation at an early voting site in Pinellas County over the weekend.

Francis allegedly struck a woman with his shoulder outside the county courthouse in Clearwater on Saturday, which was one of the early voting sites in the area, FOX 13 Tampa Bay reported.
