An FBI intelligence analyst was indicted and arrested after allegedly repeatedly removing national security documents related to human sources and sensitive methods, terrorist groups such as al Qaeda, and a variety of foreign threats and taking the records home over the course of a decade.

Kendra Kingsbury, 48, was publicly hit with the allegations Friday after the Tuesday indictment was unsealed, with the former FBI employee being arrested and appearing in front of a magistrate judge Friday. The Justice Department said the Dodge City resident worked as an intelligence analyst for a dozen years at the Kansas City Division of the FBI, where she held a top-secret security clearance, had access to classified information, and was assigned to squads working on counterintelligence, violent crime and gangs, and illegal drug running.
