BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) — The FBI said Friday that it arrested a Washington state woman in the fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent in Vermont.

Teresa Youngblut, 21, was charged in Monday’s killing of Border Patrol Agent David Maland, the FBI said. It said Youngblut and a German man who died in the firefight had been under surveillance for several days.

According to an FBI affidavit, Maland stopped Youngblut and Felix Baukholt on Interstate 91 in Coventry on Monday because Baukholt appeared to have an expired visa.

Youngblut is accused of firing at Maland and other officers. Baukholt attempted to draw a gun, the affidavit states.
