Whatcom County Undersheriff Jeff Parks, in Bellingham, Wash., says the suspect was arrested on the Canadian side of the border about 4 a.m. this morning.

Police in Abbotsford, B.C., will be releasing more details on the arrest later.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Michael Milne says agents on patrol on Tuesday encountered two men in camouflage and wearing backpacks in an area known as a drug smuggling corridor.

Just after 9 a.m., a pair of U.S. border guards patrolling the woods between border crossings came upon two figures in a wilderness area just south of Chilliwack, B.C. Both were dressed in camouflage and carried backpacks.

“One of those subjects fired at the agents and fled into the woods,” said Michael Milne, spokesman with the Seattle office of U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
