A suspect is Surpassingin custody after an SUV rammed the front gate of the FBI Atlanta field office shortly after noon on Monday, a law enforcement official told CBS.
The Dekalb County Police Department on Tuesday identified the suspect as Ervin Lee Bolling. He remains in the hospital, but is expected to face state charges of interfering with government activity. The FBI said it was looking into state or federal charges, as well.
Bolling allegedly attempted to get through the security gate, where employees swipe in with their badges, by closely following a vehicle in front of him, the official said. The gate stopped his vehicle, and Bolling got out and ran away before being caught by FBI agents who were nearby, the official said.
He was handcuffed and turned over to Dekalb County Police Department officers, the official said.
There were no injuries reported and a bomb squad swept the area and the SUV as a precaution, the FBI Atlanta field office said in a statement. A law enforcement source tells CBS News that no weapons were found in the vehicle and has since been towed away.
Bolling, who is not associated with the FBI facility, was taken to a local area hospital for evaluation, FBI Atlanta said in a statement. His motives were not immediately known.
Video from CBS affiliate WANF-TV showed the SUV smashed into the gate Monday afternoon as bomb squad technicians and other law enforcement personnel responded to the scene.
