A Canadian woman has been charged in the United States with crossing into Washington state and kicking a border agent in the face.<\/p>\n
The accused is facing one count each of assault on a federal officer and improper entry after the incident Tuesday.<\/p>\n
In U.S. district court documents, the FBI alleges the woman was denied entry at the Peace Arch border crossing, south of Surrey, B.C., because she had a marijuana vape pen.<\/p>\n
The FBI says the accused was later spotted walking across a buffer zone at Peace Arch State Park, where people from both countries can visit each other.<\/p>\n
Responding border agents reported she hurled obscenities, resisted arrest and kicked a female supervisor in the face.<\/p>\n
The FBI says the woman told investigators that she was meeting her fianc\u00e9 to retrieve their dog and did not strike anyone intentionally.<\/p>\n
She is due back in court later this month.<\/p>\n
