U.S. officials have charged a Canadian woman after she allegedly crossed over the border into Washington state and kicked a border officer in the face.

According to U.S. district court documents, the FBI says the woman was denied entry into the United States at the Peace Arch border crossing on Dec. 30 because she had a marijuana vape pen.
