A man was arrested on Monday afternoon after police said he tried to enter the FBI Atlanta field office through a gate for reasons unknown.
Just after noon, according to the FBI, a vehicle that was cleared to enter the Chamblee, Georgia, facility was making its way onto the property through a guarded security gate, WAGA-TV reported.
That was when a man driving a red SUV tried to piggyback his way onto the property behind the authorized vehicle.
