On Monday afternoon, a man attempted to force his way into the FBI's Atlanta field office by ramming his Buick Encore into a pop-up wedge barrier at the gated entrance. The barrier, designed to prevent unauthorized vehicles from entering, engaged as intended, destroying the suspect's car.

The suspect exited his vehicle and attempted to flee on foot, but was apprehended by FBI special agents. No weapons were found in the vehicle, and a bomb squad and search team cleared it as a precaution. The suspect was taken to a hospital for evaluation, and his identity has not been released.

The motive for the incident remains under investigation, and the FBI is considering filing both state and federal charges. The incident highlights the importance of security measures at federal facilities, such as pop-up wedge barriers, which are designed to prevent unauthorized access and protect personnel.
