Here’s a little unsolicited advice: Don’t pull a gun on an FBI agent.

That’s what a Mississippi man learned after he was sentenced to 15 years in prison late last month, the Associated Press reports.

Eugene Bernardini, 38, bumped into a car in Olive Branch and then pulled a gun on the occupants.

One of those occupants turned out to be FBI Special Agent Thomas Barlow, who quickly disarmed Bernardini before the man pulled out a knife and fled in his car.

Bernardini was arrested later that day.
