KALISPELL (AP) - A woman authorities say had ties to a militia group that was plotting to kill public officials in the Flathead Valley was arrested near Atlanta over the weekend on federal firearms charges, a federal agent said Monday.
Tracy Brockway, 34, was arrested without incident in Gordon County on Saturday morning, said Ken Bray, resident agent in charge of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Brockway is one of five people charged in a federal indictment with weapons conspiracy charges stemming from their alleged involvement in a group called Project 7. Bray said Brockway was expected to appear before a federal magistrate Monday and likely would be returned to Montana.
Investigators in the Flathead Valley have accused members of Project 7 of plotting to murder public officials, including judges and local law enforcement officers. However, no one has been charged with plotting murder, although Bray said an investigation continues.
Earlier this month, the ATF and FBI arrested four other people on similar firearms charges in connection with the militia group.
Also charged was David Burgert, 50, who authorities say was the leader of Project 7. He is already serving concurrent seven-year sentences for possessing an illegal machine gun and being a felon in possession of a firearm.
