The DeKalb County Police Department has identified the suspect who allegedly rammed a vehicle into the front gate of the FBI’s Atlanta headquarters Monday as Ervin Lee Bolling.
A police spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Tuesday that the department has secured warrants for interference with government property following Bolling’s arrest.
FBI Atlanta spokesperson Jenna Sellitto also said the motive for the incident remains unclear and federal charges are expected to be filed soon, likely as early as tomorrow.
The bureau previously told Fox News that the vehicle rammed into the employee entrance around noon on Monday after attempting to follow an authorized vehicle through the gate.
