After spending two days hiding from authorities in the woods, a Florida man accused of building explosive devices to prepare for the end of the world surrendered Wednesday without incident, the Tampa Bay Times reports.
Martin Winters waited outside the FBI field office in Tampa while his attorneys arranged for his surrender.
In exchange, the 55-year-old received cheeseburgers, fries and dry shoes from the FBI.
“We’re glad to report that Mr. Winters did the right thing,” said FBI spokesman David Couvertier. “We were hoping for a peaceful resolution, and today we got that.”
The FBI was worried Winters would resort to violence to keep authorities from descending on him.
