DALLAS (AP) - The attorney for R. Allen Stanford, chairman of troubled Stanford Financial Group, says the Texas billionaire surrendered to FBI agents in Stafford Thursday.

FBI agents were parked outside a residence where he was staying. Stanford walked out and asked if the agents had a warrant.

He told them to arrest him if they did and that he planned to return to Houston on Friday to turn himself in if they didn't.
