A man and a woman are facing charges of assaulting a federal officer after Homeland Security Investigations agents tried to arrest the man Wednesday for overstaying his student visa. The pair drove to police headquarters with the HSI agent “involuntarily” in Frazier’s vehicle.

    The agent… did not know where they were going, and “was in fear that he was being abducted.”

    How scary that must’ve been for him to be stuck in someone’s vehicle not sure where they’re going and to be in fear he was being abducted! Terrifying! I can’t believe anyone would do that.

      The HSI agent tried to put the Jeep in park, but Frazier continually pushed his hand away, allegedly threatened to crash the car and said that they were taking him to a police station.

      I guess its like a rubix cube for them.

        “threatened to crash the car”? Dude was breaking the cardinal rule of being a passenger in a vehicle–“don’t distract the driver”. That’s dangerous and one of the potential natural consequences is crashing the car.

      Sweet irony. Please, give this “man and woman” a medal. Love and kisses.

      And I hope the police welcomed the DHS agent appropriately. Maybe put him in a cell, for his own safety of course. Until matters are resolved. Like, who actually assaulted who.
