Colorado police have arrested a woman who allegedly bought the weapon that was used to kill Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements, officials said.

Stevie Marie Vigil of Commerce City, Colo., was charged with illegally transferring a weapon she bought to Evan Ebel, the main suspect in Clements' murder. Ebel died last week in a shootout with Texas cops.

Vigil, 22, transferred the weapon to Ebel in early March, according to the Colorado Bureau of Investigations.
