The agent was not hit, but his vehicle sustained damage, according to police.
Chatman allegedly fled the scene but was located and arrested by police a short time later.
Attorney Lynne Taft was appointed to represent Chatman.
The assault charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. The gun charge carries a mandatory two-year prison sentence.
