On Feb. 5, Morgan was driving an SUV with no markings when he pulled up next to another vehicle and “pointed his duty weapon directly at both victims while continuing to drive illegally on the shoulder” of a highway, she said. The driver then called 911.

For “a federal agent, our opinion is that illegally driving on a shoulder, pulling up to a car and pointing a gun at the heads of two community members who are not doing anything at the time is well beyond the scope of their authority,” she said.

The prosecutor said it appeared Morgan was attempting to bypass slower traffic when the victim “briefly moved their vehicle into the shoulder to slow him down.”

The agent then pulled up to the victim’s vehicle before opening his window and pointing his duty weapon at the driver and passenger, she said.
