HOUSE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE SUES FBI AGENT FOR DEFYING GOVERNMENT SUBPOENA AND BIG TECH COLLUSION INVESTIGATION
He faces charges of theft of government assets and transportation of stolen assets.
His father, John Worrell Jr., said his son had recently been dealing with heavy personal stress and didn’t have any grudge against the government or FBI, and wasn’t affiliated with any group. His attorney, Jay Mykytiuk, said he was still familiarizing himself with the facts of the case and didn’t have immediate comment.

After the agent discovered the car was missing, FBI police eventually found surveillance video showing the dark green four-door sedan leaving the garage.
Worrell drove the car to FBI headquarters in Vienna, Virginia, according to the documents. He showed the officer’s credentials and claimed to have had a secret meeting at the facility, but confronted security guards when he failed to show an access car.

He was arrested wearing an officer’s jacket and goggles and admitted to taking the car out of the FBI garage, according to court documents. Police discovered a pistol magazine belonging to the FBI agent in a fanny pack while searching for the car.
He told police he believed he had received “coded messages” in recent weeks indicating he was in danger and was seeking to get to a secure facility where he could be “safe,” according to court documents. He visited the Vienna site as part of his work for a government outdoor contractor assigned to FBI headquarters.
