Gregory Morgan Jr., the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE ) agent charged by Minnesota prosecutors with two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, will turn himself in to authorities Thursday, his attorney told ABC News. 

The Hennepin County Attorney’s Office announced the charges in April, claiming in the complaint that Morgan was ending his shift on February 5 and was driving back to the Whipple Federal Building when a motorist allegedly cut him off as Morgan was trying to pass. Morgan then brandished a firearm and pointed it at the motorists, the complaint said.

Morgan's attorney, Ryan Pacyga, said in part that the complaint contains “inaccurate and incomplete information” and that Morgan did not initiate the encounter.
