   The apparent leader of a cult-like group known as the Zizians, who   
   have been tied to the killings of six people — including the death of   
   a U.S. Border Patrol agent David Maland near the Canadian border last   
   month — has been arrested along with other members of the group.   
      
   Jack “Ziz” LaSota, 34, was arrested on Sunday along with Michelle   
   Zajko, 32, and Daniel Blank, 26. They face multiple charges including   
   trespassing, obstructing and hindering and possession of a handgun in   
   the vehicle, police said on Monday.

   All three were charged after a Frostburg, Md., resident told police   
   that three “suspicious” people had parked two box trucks on his   
   property and asked to camp there for a month. The trucks were found in   
   a largely remote wooded area near the Maryland-Pennsylvania line,   
   according to police.   
      
   They were dressed in black and two wore gun belts holding ammunition,   
   according to police. Officers found a rifle in the back of one truck   
   and a handgun on the front floorboard. Zajko, who refused to put her   
   hands behind her back and was taken to the ground, was also carrying a   
   handgun, police said.   
      
   Zajko also was charged with resisting arrest and carrying a handgun;   
   LaSota was charged with having a gun in a vehicle.   
      
   Allegany County State’s Attorney James Elliott, the prosecutor, said   
   two other guns Zajko purchased were recovered in connection with the   
   Jan. 20 shooting death of Border Patrol Agent Chris Maland, 44,   
   following a traffic stop in Vermont.   
      
   Felix Bauckholt, a passenger in the car, died in the firefight, and   
   the driver, Teresa Youngblut, has pleaded not guilty to federal   
   firearms charges.

   The judge in the case ordered LaSota, who identifies as a transgender   
   woman, be held without bail at a hearing Tuesday, citing concerns   
   about her being a flight risk and a danger to public safety.   
   Prosecutors said LaSota “appears to be the leader of an extremist   
   group known as Zizians” that has been linked to multiple killings in   
   recent years.
