SAN ANTONIO, June 10 (UPI) -- A man wanted by police discovered the hard way that working on the construction of a new FBI headquarters in San Antonio was a bad idea.
An agent tried to detain Michael King after a routine background check disclosed the warrant, WAOI-TV reported. He tried to escape, running through some undergrowth to a parking lot at a nearby church.
King tried to get help from construction workers hanging out there. But instead, they flagged down a helicopter and pointed him out.
In addition to drug charges he already faces in Nueces County, King could be charged with assaulting a federal officer.
