Canadian woman charged with illegally crossing into U.S., kicking border agent’s face
Lindsay Anne Moffatt faces assault and improper entry charges after resisting arrest and injuring a Border Patrol supervisor during an illegal crossing at a U.S.-Canada boundary park.
- Lindsay Anne Moffatt, a Canadian citizen, faces federal charges of assault on a federal officer and improper entry after a Dec. 30, 2025 incident at Peace Arch State Park, Blaine, Washington.
- Denied admission for declaring a marijuana-related vape pen, Moffatt was refused entry at the Peace Arch Port of Entry, then crossed barriers into the park buffer zone despite warning signs.
- Border Patrol agents said she resisted and kicked an agent, ignoring commands and hurling obscenities including `go f*** yourself`; FBI investigators reviewed infrared surveillance and photographs showing her flailing and a red mark on Victim 1's nose.

- Court records detail unusual behavior during the arrest, noting Moffatt urinated and defecated on herself as agents restrained her, while she told investigators she did not intend to kick anyone but might have struck an agent.
