The Washington State woman, who has been charged in connection with a fatal shootout that killed a veteran U.S. Border Patrol Agent in Orleans County last month, has been transferred to a New Hampshire jail.
Teresa Youngblut, 21, is now at the Merrimack County Department of Corrections in Boscawen, N.H., a suburb of Concord.
Vermont News First learned the U.S. Marshals Service moved Youngblut out of the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility in South Burlington about 11 a.m. Wednesday.
A spokesman at the Merrimack County Jail, which is about 150 miles from Burlington, confirmed this afternoon that she was now at the facility.
Because there are no federal prisons in Vermont, the U.S. Marshals Service contracts with the Vermont Department of Corrections to house federal prisoners.
The contract is limited to holding about 70 federal prisoners, which include those recently arrested, others that are awaiting trial or sentencing and those that have been sentenced and are awaiting placement in the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
The U.S. Marshals Service, which does not discuss inmate transfers for safety reasons, also has contracts with facilities in New Hampshire and New York to handle the overflow of federal inmates.
Youngblut pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Burlington during her arraignment last Friday afternoon to two felony assault charges.
She has not been charged with the actual death of the Border Patrol Agent.
Assistant Federal Defender Steven L. Barth asked for 90 days to investigate the case and to consider filing pre-trial motions.
Youngblut could be returned to the South Burlington prison for any pre-trial hearings.
She is charged with the intentional use of a deadly weapon while forcibly assaulting, resisting, impeding and interfering with a federal Border Patrol Agent while he was performing his lawful duties in Coventry on Jan. 20.
The other not guilty plea was for a felony charge of knowingly brandishing and discharging a Glock model 23 40-caliber pistol during “the forcible assault with a deadly weapon” — a crime of violence that she might face in federal court.
The two criminal charges stem from a shootout about 3:15 p.m. Monday Jan. 20 on Interstate 91 in Coventry about 9 miles south of the U.S.-Canada border.
Border Patrol Agent David “Chris” Maland, 44, of Newport, who made the initial traffic stop, was wounded in the neck and was rushed by police cruiser to North Country Hospital in Newport where he was pronounced dead about 4 p.m.
He was joined by two other Border Patrol Agents as Youngblut opened fire, officials said.
Youngblut was wounded by the Border Patrol in the shootout that also claimed the life of her companion, Felix Bauckholt, 28, a German National. He never got a shot off from his firearm, officials have said.
He died from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest.
Authorities initially listed Bauckholt as an illegal immigrant, but later revised it to say he had overstayed a work visa.
Youngblut was treated for gunshots for five days while under armed guard at Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center in Lebanon, N.H.
Vermont News First initially broke the story about the double homicide in Coventry, the subsequent arrest of Youngblut and the new indictment against her.
During the arraignment, Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew J. Lasher, while outlining the evidence that Barth would need to review, made mention that Youngblut had made a statement to police after the shooting.
Lasher did not indicate what Youngblut said or how long she spoke to law enforcement.
Depending on the circumstances of the statement, it could become the subject of a motion to try to suppress it as evidence.

Try her in Federal court in NH! Better than wasting taxpayer $$ moving this POS back and forth, and less chance of aquittal for murder by a left-leaning Vermont “Federal” court!
Every detail of this operation needs to be made public and why this was called a WHISPER STOP. There must be a lot more to be made public about this operation.
So, is this a “dude who looks like a lady” as in the song? The initial news reports were kinda cagey. The M.D.’s who took care of this crazy should have been able to tell when their scrubs were changed. But then again, it/their/them/whatever was being treated at UVM, so they likely were clueless.
I highly doubt they have had trans surgery. Their anatomy, unless they had breast implants would not be seen until they were naked. At the traffic stop no one would have known just by looking that she was a he. My theory is that they were using the “ trans” identifier is that when they did the murders they could cut their hair and be the males that they are. No one would have realized it at first. This entire scheme is a very convoluted gang who are probably very psychotic. The more I read about this case, the more bizarre it becomes.
I don’t believe that pic is Youngblut, that’s the girl who own’s the property in Derby and lives in Orleans, she is also one of the ones linked to killing her parents in PA. I believe there is a Manhunt or woman hunt (whichever is correct) out for her.
The fact that Vermont is at capacity for federal detainees sounds like good news to me. I would not want to see any of those beds/cells go unused.
Youngblut is 21 and an adult. She knew what she was doing when she shot David “Chris” Maland, a border agent just 44 years old at a traffic stop. What is she going to use as a defense? “I didnt know that the bullet from my gun was going to kill Mr. Maland? “I didnt realize the consequences of pointing a deadly weapon with hollow point ammunition at someone would exact maximum damage if that person was hit??”Yes she did. These people are members of a fringe transgender community that want notoriety to further push their agenda-what that is—I haven’t a clue. If they are pushing in Vermont we need to take guns away from everyone? Whether transgenders are the victims here so this shooting was justified???
Whether drugs were involved or not, it doesn’t matter. She should be charged with premeditated murder because this shootout was planned. She knew how to use that gun and proved it. She’s an adult and not a child and she should go to jail for the rest of her life for murdering a border agent just doing his job and his family deserves justice.
When you make adult decisions you put yourself at risk of receiving adult consequences. This individuals personal agendas should not be considered. Youngblut murdered someone. There are those who lost a future husband, brother, child, friend and colleague not to mention someone a hero who had committed his life to protecting his country and community.
I’m waiting for the ballistics report. I believe it was her gun that was the fatal bullet to Officer Maland but time will tell.
Vermont should join other states that treat conjoined criminals as having equal responsibility for acts of violence, especially murder resulting from their activities. Unfortunately, Vermont is going the other direction when it comes to holding criminals responsible for their misdeeds. Hopefully all charges will be handled in the federal court system which does take these matters seriously and will not apply special victimhood considerations for the apparent gender confusion issues.
