Just like our agent could have caught him.” I could see it, but I couldn’t even reach the car because people were driving. If there’s an explosion inside and a car crashes in front of you, you’re dead.”

Egan’s criminal record shows that he was convicted of two felonies in 2012 for possession of cocaine and marijuana.
