The FBI has arrested a woman in connection with the fatal shooting of Vermont Border Patrol agent.
Teresa Youngblut, 21, was charged over the killing of David Maland on Monday, the bureau said.
Maland, 44, was killed Monday afternoon following a traffic stop, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesperson said in a previous statement. He had stopped Youngblut and Felix Baukholt, a German citizen, on Interstate 91 in Coventry because Baukholt appeared to have an expired visa.
Youngblut is accused of firing at Maland and other officers, according to an FBI affidavit.
Baukholt attempted to draw a gun, and was also killed in the firefight with Maland.
Investigators had been performing “periodic surveillance” of the pair since January 14 after an employee at a hotel where they were staying reported concerns about seeing Youngblut carrying a gun and both of them wearing all-black tactical gear.
Investigators attempted to question them but the declined to have an extended conversation and said they were in the area looking to buy property.
