The FBI special agent who was arrested for allegedly shooting at a Grand Rapids police officer was in Michigan investigating telemarketing fraud, WZZM 13 reports.
Ruben Hernandez, 35, was arrested on Dec. 6 and charged with assault with intent to commit great bodily harm and assault with a dangerous weapon.
Police were called to a gym after Hernandez began acting erratically. He’s accused of firing at a responding officer.
While in custody, Hernandez apologized.
“Ma’am, I have a telemarketing fraud case,” he informed an officer.
“It is a mass marketing fraud case. I’m so sorry. I can’t even think straight. 4965903, that’s the FBI file number. Ma’am, I’m so sorry.”
Hernandez works out of the FBI’s Las Vegas office.
